… or by style

Three ways Ganpati is dressed

Plain is hand-painted straight onto the clay, no added ornament. Jewellery style adds a moulded mukut, haar and gem detail worked into the idol itself. A full safa set dresses Ganpati in fabric — turban, robe and khes in brocade, velvet or paithani. Styles run from 12 inch upwards; every 6 and 8 inch idol is plain.

Shop by category

Everything for the celebration

From a 12 inch Ganpati for the front room to a hand-painted mandir that will outlast us all.

Five generations, four shops, one road

Our story began five generations ago in Surat, India's silk city, where the Venilals family first traded in fine sarees. Over 30 years ago we brought that tradition to Ealing Road, Wembley — starting with a single saree shop.

Today our four stores bring everything together for life's celebrations: wedding sarees and sherwanis, jewellery, murtis, mandirs and festive essentials.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Can I have a Ganesh idol delivered?

No — every visarjan idol, eco-friendly clay and POP alike, is Click & Collect only. They're hand-painted and far too fragile to survive a courier, so we don't ship them at any size. Reserve online and you'll get an email when it's ready to collect.

Everything else on the site — mandirs, brass and marble murtis, sarees, jewellery — is delivered UK-wide as normal.

What's the difference between eco-friendly and POP idols?

Our eco range is natural clay with water-soluble finishes, so it dissolves cleanly during visarjan. POP idols are plaster of Paris — they hold finer detail and come in the larger sizes, from 2.5 up to 4.5 ft, which is why they're popular for halls and community pandals.

What size idol should I choose?

Measure the space at home first — the height we quote includes the base. 6 to 8 inch suits a shelf or a first Ganpati; 12 to 15 inch suits most front rooms; 24 inch and above, including the POP range, are usually for halls and community celebrations.

What's the difference between plain, jewellery and safa set?

It's how Ganpati is dressed — the idol underneath is the same natural clay either way.

Plain is hand-painted straight onto the clay: khes and dhoti in colour, no fabric and no added ornament. The simplest and most classical.

Jewellery style has the ornament moulded and painted into the idol itself — mukut, haar, ear medallions and gem detail. Richer to look at, without the bulk of cloth.

Safa set dresses Ganpati in real fabric — a turban with a matching robe and khes in brocade, velvet or paithani. The most dressed of the three, and the usual choice when the idol is the centrepiece at home.

Styles are available from 12 inch upwards. Every 6 and 8 inch idol is plain.

Do you sell pooja samagri and decorations?

Yes. Pooja samagri, thalis, diyas and aarti lamps, cotton wicks, camphor, gangajal, bajot and rangoli colours are all available online and delivered UK-wide.

Festive decorations — torans, garlands and backdrop dressing — are in store only, at Festival (198 Ealing Road, 020 8900 0313) and Heritage (97 Ealing Road, 1st Floor, 07342 737227). Come and see the range in person; we restock right through the festive season.

Where do I collect my idol or murti from?

Idols and murtis can be collected from either of two shops, a few doors apart on Ealing Road:

Heritage — 97 Ealing Road, 1st Floor, Wembley HA0 4BN — 07342 737227
Celebrations — 99-103 Ealing Road, Wembley HA0 4BP — 020 8795 3051

Reserve online, wait for the ready-to-collect email, then come in with your order confirmation and tell us which of the two is easier for you.

Bring a car for any idol from 2 ft, and a van or an estate for the 4 ft and 4.5 ft pieces — they don't fold. We'll help you load.

When are you open?

All four shops keep the same hours: Monday to Friday 10:00 – 18:30, Saturday 10:00 – 19:00, Sunday 10:30 – 19:00.

Hours can change on festival days and around Ganesh Chaturthi, so it's worth ringing the shop before you set off.

Which store should I visit for what?

Shri Venilals for sarees, Celebrations for Punjabi suits, lehengas, sherwanis and jewellery, Festival for idols, murtis, pooja samagri and festive essentials — with the temples, mandirs and decorations upstairs at Heritage. Idols and murtis reserved online are collected from Heritage or Celebrations.

Do you take returns?

Yes, within our published returns window — see the refund policy for details on made-to-order and clearance pieces.
