Nine inches of river clay, shaped by hand. All twenty-one patri, each in its own labelled sachet, in the order you offer them. Nothing in the box is plastic.
Vinayaka Chavithi falls on Monday, 14 September 2026. The madhyahna muhurtham in Hyderabad runs 11:14 AM to 1:46 PM.
What comes in the box
The idol. Nine inches tall, six wide, four and a half deep, seated on a lotus. Shaped from natural river clay by rural artisans. No plaster of Paris and no paint across the body — only the eyes and the tilakam are picked out. It dissolves in water the way it is meant to.
The patri. All twenty-one, and this is the part most kits get wrong. Every leaf sits in its own paper sachet, numbered in the order it is offered, with the sloka printed on the sachet. You are not sorting a mixed bundle at seven in the morning working out which leaf is which. Sourced through the Bhadhyatha Foundation from growers who harvest without damaging the trees.
The vratham, performed live
From 9 AM on Monday, 14 September the Vinayaka Vratham is performed live, and you can follow it from home with your family. If nobody in the house has done it before, this is the part that makes it possible.
Delivery
Two options, both ₹150. Gated community delivery if your community is on our list, or home delivery anywhere we cover in Hyderabad. Choose one at checkout — there is no pickup option this year. Everything arrives before Chaturthi and we confirm your window on WhatsApp.
And afterwards
Immerse the idol and patri in water and the clay returns to where it came from. If you have nowhere suitable, pack the idol and patri back into the Karishye box and send it to our office in Uppal — we perform a river nimarjan on your behalf.
Where the money goes
After costs: to farmers practising go-aadhara cultivation, to gowshalas through govu-graasam, and to a Vedic school.
