Question: Hare Krishna. What is the material of the dolls? Are they identical?

 Answer: These dolls are made from poly-resin. They are produced in a molding process so they are identical. Of course Gaura and Nitai are different, but all the Gaua's and all the Nitai's are identical except they are available in different colors.

Question: Hare Krsna! PAMHO. Jaya Prabhupada! I was wondering, are these dolls suitable for applying tilaka and bathing like regural dieties? Can I paint and draw Their mouth, lotus feet, palms... How durable and firm is the original coulor?

 Answer: No, If you want regular deity to bath and apply tilaka every day, you should get brass deities. The brass deities are perfect for that. These ones are made of polyresin, and they have a metalic finish which is quite good and strong but they are not meant for daily bathing. You can paint them, but it is not like brass. If you paint brass you can remove it, but if you paint these you will not be able to remove the paint.

Question: I would like Gaura Nitai with the colour of the picture : is that Copper or Silver ?

 Answer: Picture is Gold but Gold may be out of stock at the moment. 

Question: When will the Gaura Nitai Gold be in stok ? (7.5\\\")

 Answer: Perhaps never as there is no plan at the moment for producing these again. At least we have no idea, there is currently no new production of these dolls planned.

Question: Hare Krishna! Can these deities be kept just as they are without dressing them with additional clothes or are they meant for daily dressing up with additional clothes that need to be bought?

 Answer: They can be kept as they are. Main thing is Kirtan. Lord Caitanya likes the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha mantra. So chant Hare Krishna and They will be happy with you.

Question: hare krsna! I was just wondering what paint is used on the gold deities to give that metallic golden finish (for long term preservation of the deities original colour)

 Answer: It is not paint. It is an actual metalic finish. So not that you can get this sort of finish with paint.

If you want a perminent finish then get the actual brass deities. They will last forever. These ones are not forever like the brass ones.
