We are based in Leicester, our design studio & warehouse is under 2 miles from the City Centre.
All of our Temples, Swings and Furniture are made from grade 'A' African Teak wood which is sourced from Ghana. This is more expensive and better quality than other economic Teak wood such as Ivory Teak wood, Valsad Teak wood or Indonesia Teak Wood.
African teak wood is renown for strength, durability, sturdiness, finish and longer life. It has good resistance to rotting, damage and has natural termite resistance.
According to Vastu Shatra, "The temple should be made of Wood or Marble". Temples made of Teak and Sevan wood are considered to be the best and most auspicious for a home as they are propitious and considered to be natural, this is sure to bring peace and prosperity into the owner's home. The Sevan wood is known for its auspicious property as Goddess Laxmiji and God Vishnuji resides in them. Avoid temples made from glass or acrylic.
According to Vastu guidlines,
We use pristine high-grade Makrana and Vietnam white marble for all our Murtis. These are ethically sourced directly from authentic certified vendors. These are available in different finishes so as to best match up with the requirements of our customers.
Please do not compare our marble Murti price & quality with other seller's economic quality marble, at Shubham Crafts you will get authentic certified Marble Murtis only.
We will discuss your Murti, Temple or Swing requirements with you in depth and show you various options to choose from. After you finalise your choices, we will send you a PDF containing sketches of your custom design to ensure we have captured all your requirements of colours, sizes and materials - this is so that we can avoid any misunderstanding and mis-communication. Once you have confirmed that you are happy with all the details we will require a deposit before the product manufacture process is started.
The entire custom order process will be supervised by our expert design team in the UK. We will send you update photos of your Temple, Murti or Swings in production on a regular basis. Shipping and Installation details will be discussed with you prior to ordering.

All our products are hand crafted and individual, we therefore invite you to view the product in person before you place your order. It is very difficult sometimes to see the actual colour and finish through photos and videos - for this reason we currently do not take direct website orders and only allow purchase once we have communicated with you.
As a result of this, returns are not accepted unless the product is substantially different to what was seen through photos and videos. Please refer to our terms and conditions for more information.
