Why These Cultured/Korean Marble Idols Are Widely Available on E-Commerce Websites ?

Mass-produced Cultured marble, dust, resin, or so-called Korean marble idols are widely available on e-commerce websites because they are mould-made, lightweight, and easy to manufacture in large quantities. These characteristics make them suitable for bulk online retail and standardised listings.

Large online marketplaces prioritise scale, low pricing, fast dispatch, and uniformity, which aligns well with factory-produced idols. However, this retail model does not support the craftsmanship, material purity, or ritual requirements associated with handcrafted marble murtis.

In contrast, 100% handcrafted marble murtis carved from natural stone require skilled artisans, time-intensive workmanship, custom specifications, and careful handling. For this reason, such murtis are rarely sold through mass e-commerce platforms and are instead commissioned directly for home temples and private mandirs.
