Ganpati Bappa Alankar

Ganpati alankar — also called Ganpati aabhushan, dagina or shringar — simply means the silver ornaments you dress Bappa's murti in during Ganesh Chaturthi. Most homes start with four basics: a mukut (crown), a sund cover or sondpatta for the trunk, a haar (necklace) and kaan (ears). After that, families add as per their own tradition — bajuband, kada, Gauri kamarband, trishul-parshu, and pooja pieces like silver modak, paan, supari, nariyal, durva, flowers and thali. At Silvogue by Ranka every piece is sold separately, starting from ₹617, so you can build your set slowly over the years instead of buying everything in one go.

In this collection prices start at ₹617 for a small silver flower and go up to about ₹55,675 for a large 179 gm mukut. Silver is priced on two things — the weight of silver in the piece, charged at that day's silver rate, and the making charges for the karigar's handwork. That is why the same design can cost a little more or less on different days. This Ganesh Chaturthi we are giving 50% off making charges on the entire Ganpati alankar collection, so you pay the silver value plus only half the labour cost. The weight and final price of every piece are shown on its own product page — nothing is hidden.

Yes — every piece in this collection is genuine silver, handcrafted by our karigars, and the exact silver weight is printed on the product page and on your invoice. Silver naturally goes dull or black when it touches air, humidity, haldi-kumkum, oil or attar — that is normal for pure silver and not a defect. Wipe each piece with a soft dry cloth after the puja, keep it away from water and perfume, and store it back in its pouch or box in a cool, dry cupboard. Looked after this way, the same alankar stays bright for many Ganesh Utsavs. If a piece arrives damaged, send us photos within 12 hours of delivery and we will replace it; exchanges are accepted within 3 days of delivery with the original invoice.

Measure your murti before ordering — you only need three numbers: the height of the idol, the width of the head from ear to ear, and the length of the trunk. As a thumb rule, the mukut should be about as wide as the head, the haar roughly half the height of the idol, and the sund cover a little shorter than the trunk so the tip stays open. Every product page on this site lists the exact length, width and silver weight — our sund covers start around 2.5 inch, haars around 10 inch, and the largest mukut is 10.5 inch wide. Still not sure? WhatsApp a photo of your murti along with its height to +91 93251 75464 and our team will tell you which size to pick.
