Ordered sixty for my daughter's wedding. Every box was identical, which sounds small until you have handed out sixty gifts.

Made in IndoreThe idea behind the houseRead our story
In a house full of gods, one of them is yours
Ishta comes from Ishta Devata: the deity a person chooses for themselves. Not the one they inherit, not the one they are assigned. The one they actually speak to.
We started House of Ishta because the idols available to us did not match the relationship people have with them. A piece you pray to every morning was being sold like a paperweight: thin plating, a plastic bag, a courier box.
Everything we make is cast to order in a single family-run workshop in Indore, plated by hand, checked under a lamp, and boxed before it leaves. Nothing ships that we would not keep on our own mandir.

Silver and gold plated idols, made in Indore
Read more about how we make them
House of Ishta makes murtis for the home mandir and for gifting: Ganesha, Lakshmi, Krishna, Balaji, Hanuman and Shiva, cast in poly-marble and electroplated in 999 fine silver or 24-karat gold. Each piece is finished by hand in our Indore workshop, sealed against tarnish, and delivered in a signature gift box with a certificate of authenticity.
Every listing states the finish plainly: silver plated, gold plated or dual tone. We do not sell solid silver or solid gold idols, and we say so. What you get is a heavy, detailed piece with a jewellery-grade finish, at a price that makes it easy to gift on Diwali, at a housewarming, or for a wedding.
