Buying a pure silver murti
A Pitaari murti is cast in 999 pure silver and then hand-finished and polished. Ganesh and Lakshmi are the forms we make, for the home mandir, griha pravesh and Diwali puja. Casting and hand-finishing cannot land on a weight to the milligram, so every murti page states its weight and the small tolerance either side of it, and you are charged on the listed weight. Ask for the assay report for the piece you are buying, or have it independently assayed at a BIS-recognised centre; we would rather you checked. Pure silver is a soft metal, so a murti is best kept on a cloth or a stand and wiped with a soft dry cloth when it tarnishes. Every murti carries twelve months of free re-polishing at our counter in Meerut, where Agarwal Jewellers has traded since 1960.
