Namaste,
Wonderful god murthis for Navaratri are available at Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, PA. The bookstore has a collection of murthis - all made of plastic and having very nice details for sale for a very reasonable price. There are several online stores that sell god murthis during Navaratri times but the prices are too expensive. At Arsha Vidya Gurukulam, I bought 2 murthis, one of Sri Kaliya Nardhana Krishna and another Sri Narasimha, both about 10 - 12 inches (pic attached), weighing pretty heavy, made of tough plastic, for about $18.00 each. The collection at the bookstore included murthis of Sri Rama darbar, Sri Krishna (varying poses), Sri Hanuman, Sri Lakshmi - Narayana, Lord Shiva pariwar (Shiva, parvathi, Ganesha, Skanda), 3-headed Ganesha, Rama practicing archery (a very beautiful idol!) and so forth. While comparing the online murthis sold for a price of anywhere between $50 - $100 for the same size piece for murthis made of clay, these prices are unbeatable! I checked out an murthis and a tag at the bottom said 'Krishna Culture' - not sure if Krishna culture (online) sells such murthis too.
Enjoy purchasing!
