The Lineage
A New House, an Old Standard
SUMERU is a young house with an unfashionable belief: that a consecrated artifact should be held to the same rigour as the scripture it serves. We do not claim decades of history we have not earned. What we offer instead is a standard — stated openly, and built to be checked.
Why SUMERU Exists
The market for sacred objects has long been content with approximation — a Sri Yantra whose energy-lines don't quite meet, an idol sold as Panchaloha that is really finished brass, a “certified” gemstone whose only certificate is the seller's own word. For an object meant to sit at the centre of a home's devotion, that gap between claim and truth felt worth closing.
So SUMERU was built around a single discipline: every claim we make about an artifact should be verifiable. The geometry is measured. The metal is assayed. The gemstone carries an independent lab report you can read yourself. The consecration is real. Where we cannot prove something, we do not assert it.
What We Hold Ourselves To
Assayed Metal Composition
Every Panchaloha and Ashtadhatu casting is checked for its metal ratio before it leaves the workshop — the alloy is stated, not assumed.
Shastric Proportion
Iconometry and posture are measured against Agama and Shilpa Shastra canon rather than approximated by eye.
Independent Gem Certificates
Every Jyotish gemstone ships with a certificate from an independent laboratory (IGI, GRS or equivalent) — origin and treatment disclosed.
Satvik Custody
Each artifact is kept in a smoke-free, consecrated sanctum and dispatched wrapped as a deity in waiting, never as loose inventory.
How an Artifact Reaches Your Altar
- 1
Sourced from tradition
Idols and Merus are cast in traditional sthapati workshops; gemstones come from established houses. Provenance is documented from origin, not improvised at sale.
- 2
Proportioned & assayed
Iconometry is measured against Agama and Shilpa Shastra canon, and the metal composition of every casting is checked before it is accepted.
- 3
Certified where it counts
Every Jyotish gemstone is sent to an independent laboratory (IGI, GRS or equivalent); the report — species, origin, treatment — travels with the stone.
- 4
Consecrated, not merely finished
Idols are awakened through prana-pratishtha and yantras are energised. Nothing leaves the sanctum inert or unblessed.
- 5
Kept in Satvik custody
Between consecration and dispatch each piece rests in a smoke-free, clean sanctum — treated as a deity in waiting, never as shelved inventory.
- 6
Dispatched as a relic
Ritually wrapped and insured, each artifact arrives with its lineage note and, for gemstones, its certificate — ready for your altar.
