Marble murtis depict gods and goddesses such as Ganesh, Shiva, Lakshmi, Radha Krishna, Hanuman, and Durga. The term 'murti' emphasises the embodied divine form used in puja and temple worship.

Jaipur workshops source Makrana marble for its milky white tone, fine grain, and centuries-long durability. Hand carving preserves iconographic proportions prescribed in shilpa shastra traditions.

Home mandirs typically use 9–18 inch murtis; temples may commission life-size pieces with reinforced bases and installation support.
