SADARAM Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Murti 14 Inch Handcrafted Clay Statue Pack of 1

The SADARAM Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Murti is a finely handcrafted clay statue created by skilled women artisans of Sadaram SHG from Wardha district, Maharashtra. This 14-inch murti pays tribute to the legendary Maratha warrior king, symbolising courage, leadership, and the spirit of Swarajya deeply rooted in Indian history.

Each murti is sculpted using natural clay soil prepared through traditional methods. The clay is carefully kneaded, shaped by hand, and detailed to reflect Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s iconic posture, attire, and dignified expression. After shaping, the statue is sun-dried and kiln-fired to ensure durability while retaining its authentic earthen character.

Once fired, the murti is hand-painted using traditional colour application techniques to highlight facial features, armour detailing, and royal attire. The handcrafted finish gives the statue a dignified presence suitable for homes, offices, institutions, cultural spaces, and commemorative events such as Shiv Jayanti. Minor variations in colour and form are natural due to the handmade process and enhance the uniqueness of each piece.

This handcrafted murti serves as a symbol of inspiration and respect for Indian heritage. It is ideal for patriotic decor, educational institutions, cultural exhibitions, and spaces that honour historical leadership and regional pride.
