Laddu Gopal

Laddu Gopal size guide

Laddu Gopal poshak is sold against the traditional Laddu Gopal size numbers — a size 4 means size four, not four inches. If you already know your Thakur Ji’s size number, order it. If not, send us a photo and we will tell you.

  1. Measure your idol

    Measure from the base to the top of the head, in inches, with a flat ruler held straight. Keep this number to hand — we use it to work out the size.

    A photo with a ruler is the surest way

  2. Match it to a size

    If you already know your Thakur Ji’s size number, use it. Size numbers are the traditional Mathura–Vrindavan scale and are not the same as inches.

    See the table below

  3. Check the singhasan

    Make sure your chowki or singhasan leaves room for the skirt to sit flat once the poshak is on the murti.

  4. Or just send a photo

    Place a ruler beside your idol, take a photo and send it to us. We will tell you the size and which poshak will suit it.

Shop all Laddu Gopal Poshak

We do not publish an inches-to-size-number conversion, because the same number is cut slightly differently by different workrooms and we would rather check yours than have you order the wrong one. Send a photo of Thakur Ji with a ruler beside him and we will confirm the size.

Common questions

Is Laddu Gopal size 4 the same as 4 inches?

No. Laddu Gopal poshak is sold in the traditional size numbers, and a size number is not the same as inches. Size 4 means size four.

How do I find my Laddu Gopal's size number?

If you already know Thakur Ji's size number, order that size. If not, measure from the base to the top of the head in inches and send us a photo with the ruler beside him on WhatsApp. We will tell you the size before you order.

Why don't you publish an inches-to-size chart?

The same size number is cut slightly differently by different workrooms, so a general chart can send you the wrong size. We would rather check your idol's photo and confirm it.

What comes with a Laddu Gopal poshak?

Our Laddu Gopal poshak come with a matching pagdi. Each product page lists what is in the set. Add a mukut or mala to complete the shringar.
