Find the right vagha size for your Thakurji
Laddu Gopal vagha is sold by dress size 0 to 6. Size by the idol's height, or by the diameter of a vagha he already wears, both give the same number.

Sizing FAQs
My idol is between two sizes, which do I pick?
Go up, not down. A slightly loose vagha drapes beautifully; a tight one will not close at the back.
Does the mukut affect the size?
No, measure the idol's height including the crown moulded into the murti, but the mukut we send is sized to the same dress size automatically.
My Thakurji is larger than size 6.
We stitch custom sizes to order. Use the customisation form on any product page, or contact us with the measurements.
Can I just send you a photo?
Yes, WhatsApp a photo with anything for scale (a coin works) and we will confirm the size, usually within a few hours.
