The SADARAM Earthen Warkari Mandal (Set of 7 Varkari Idols) is a spiritually rich and culturally significant handcrafted clay sculpture created by the women artisans of Sadaram Self Help Group from Wardha district, Maharashtra. This Pack of 1 set includes 7 individual Warkari figurines (3 female and 4 male), each carefully shaped from natural earthen clay and hand-painted using safe, non-toxic colours. The set beautifully captures the essence of Maharashtra’s revered Warkari tradition and the devotional journey towards Lord Vitthal of Pandharpur.

The Warkari movement is a centuries-old bhakti tradition that celebrates devotion, equality, simplicity, and community living. Through abhangas, bhajans, and the sacred Dindi Yatra, Warkaris express their spiritual connection with Lord Vitthal. The SADARAM Warkari Mandal brings this living tradition into your home in the form of detailed folk art that reflects devotion, rhythm, and collective faith.

Cultural & Spiritual Significance

This handcrafted mandal represents a group of Warkaris walking together in devotion. The figurines portray men and women in traditional attire, carrying musical instruments, tulsi vrindavan, and the bhagwa flag. Each idol reflects humility, discipline, and joy, symbolising the spiritual unity and collective chanting that defines the Warkari Sampraday. Displaying this set creates a sacred and peaceful atmosphere in any space.

Authentic Earthen Craftsmanship

The SADARAM Earthen Warkari Mandal is made using natural clay sourced locally, shaped by hand using traditional folk-art techniques. After air drying, the idols are kiln-fired to enhance strength and durability. Skilled artisans then hand-paint each figurine in vibrant colours, highlighting facial expressions, clothing details, and devotional elements. Minor variations in colour and form are natural and reflect genuine handmade craftsmanship.

Set Composition & Dimensions

This pack contains 7 handcrafted clay idols forming a complete Warkari mandal:

• 3 female Warkari figurines
• 4 male Warkari figurines

Each figurine stands approximately 8 inches in height. When arranged together, the full display spans roughly 45–50 cm in width, making it ideal for tabletops, shelves, altars, or cultural display units.

Decorative, Devotional & Gifting Use

The SADARAM Warkari Mandal Set is perfect for puja rooms, home temples, living room décor, offices, cultural exhibitions, and educational displays. It is especially meaningful during Ashadhi Ekadashi, Kartiki Ekadashi, Pandharpur Wari, Diwali, and other traditional festivals. The set also makes a thoughtful spiritual gift for households that value Indian heritage and folk art.
