A Short Guide
Choosing from our Wedding Gifts
Wedding gifts in Indian homes tend to outlive the wedding — which is the point. The classics: a Lakshmi–Ganesha pair for prosperity in the new household, a Kamdhenu cow and calf for abundance, or a brass urli the couple will float flowers in at every festival for the next thirty years.
If the couple's home is modern, hand-carved wooden pieces — an elephant family with jali work, a Buddha bust — read as art rather than ritual. Figurines start around ₹1,000; statement idols reach ₹11,000.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good wedding gift for an Indian couple?
The classics endure: a Lakshmi–Ganesha pair for prosperity, a Kamdhenu set for abundance, or a brass urli they'll use every festival. For modern homes, carved wooden pieces read as art with meaning.
How much should I spend on a wedding gift?
Handcrafted figurines start around ₹1,000; statement idols and pairs run ₹3,000–11,000. A group gift pooling for one large piece usually lands better than several small ones.
