Sizing

Five bands, and one way to measure

Measure base to crown of the head — not including the mukut, and not including the singhasan or chowki underneath. That one rule is what makes the band right.

S16″ and underSmall Laddu Gopal, travel murtis
S2Over 6″ up to 12″The most common home size
S3Over 12″ up to 18″Larger home shrines
S4Over 18″ up to 30″Big installations
S5Above 30″Measured and quoted individually

A seated deity and a standing one at the same height need different garments, so we ask which deity as well. Already know your size number from a poshak you have bought before? Tell us that instead.
