They are the plates people hang near a mandir or an entryway rather than over a sofa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 inch diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 460 g (approx. 1 lb \/ 16.2 oz) per plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDF board, hand-painted and varnished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging hook fitted to the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrice is per plate - choose one design above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorative only, not food safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy these work on a wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e460 g each - about a pound. That is the number that makes a gallery wall of these practical: a single small nail or a rated pushpin holds one, so you can hang five or six without touching a stud, and move them when the arrangement is wrong. The varnish coat is what keeps the paint from scuffing when you take them down and put them back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich of the five\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRam Sita\u003c\/strong\u003e - the two figures together, in red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKrishna\u003c\/strong\u003e - a figure in profile beneath a large pink lotus headdress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVrindavan\u003c\/strong\u003e - Krishna in a red turban playing the flute among cows beneath a willow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePichwai Cow\u003c\/strong\u003e - a white cow framed in a blue temple archway under a crescent moon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLotus\u003c\/strong\u003e - a blue hand holding a pink lotus, on black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRam Sita and Vrindavan are the two narrative designs; Krishna, Pichwai Cow and Lotus are single images and read more quietly.

A single plate reads as an accent; three or more read as a collection. They also sit well interleaved with a wooden cow or elephant head from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe other plate designs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwenty-one designs are spread across four listings, all the same 10-inch plate at the same price.

At 460 g a small nail or a heavy-duty pushpin is enough - no anchors needed. For a group, lay the plates out on the floor first and photograph the arrangement before you put a single hole in the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft cloth. Glass cleaner applied to the cloth rather than sprayed will lift finger marks off the varnish. Do not soak them and do not put them in a dishwasher - they are painted MDF, not ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Vrindavan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grove on the Yamuna where Krishna spent his childhood herding cattle. The design shows him with the cows and the flute, which is the scene the name refers to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable to hang in a pooja room?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. These are the designs in the plate range most often bought for a mandir wall or the wall beside it. They are decorative rather than consecrated - treat them as you would any framed deity image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I eat off it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. These are decorative wall plates - hand-painted, varnished MDF, not glazed ceramic and not food safe. They are made to hang, not to serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it real wood?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMDF board, which is engineered wood. It is what makes a 10-inch plate come in at 460 g and stay perfectly flat instead of warping the way a thin solid-wood disc would.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I mix designs from your other plate listings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and most people do. All four plate listings are the same 10-inch size, the same thickness and the same price, so they hang together as one set regardless of which listing they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come ready to hang?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A hook is fitted to the back. Nails and pushpins are not supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClose, not identical. Each plate is painted by hand, so line weight and colour depth shift a little between pieces. That variation is the reason to buy a hand-painted plate rather than a printed one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the price for one plate or a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne plate. Choose your design from the dropdown. Add several to the cart if you want a group.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan they go in a kitchen or a bathroom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dry kitchen wall away from the hob is fine. Bathrooms are not - steam gets into MDF and lifts the varnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if one arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping is insured.
