Meldi Maa Coin
મેલડી માતાमेलडी माता
Meldi Maa, also written Meladi Mata, belongs to Gujarat’s living goddess traditions. A goat-mounted form is documented in a nineteenth-century Mata ni Pachedi held by the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya. Her story can be approached through that remarkable meeting of devotion, painted cloth and the people who keep a tradition alive.

Tell us about the coin you would like, your preferred metal and the occasion. We will discuss the design, availability and next steps with you.
Made to order · Minimum 20 pieces
Pair your chosen coin with a gift box. Artwork, box style and the itemised price are agreed with your quote.
Made to order: minimum 20 pieces of the same design and weight.
After your enquiry, we review the artwork and presentation with you, then send an itemised quote. The final price, taxes and delivery are confirmed in that quote. No payment is taken with an enquiry.
A familiar presence, thoughtfully represented
A meaningful Meldi Maa design begins with the form your family recognises. The goat is a documented identifying feature; the posture, attributes and surrounding details should come from the particular reference you choose. A familiar name alone cannot settle every detail of an image.
A dedication can carry a family name or an occasion without making a claim about ancestry. Keep the principal image clear, and give the personal story room on the accompanying card. The purpose is recognition and remembrance, with the final artwork reviewed before manufacture.
From a remembered story to a keepsake
Perhaps the starting point is an image kept at home, a visit made together or a name spoken by a grandparent. Share that connection in your enquiry. It helps explain what matters to you without turning one household’s practice into a rule for everyone.
Choose the metal and presentation for the recipient and your budget. This page does not establish that a particular metal, weight or purchased coin is required for worship. A respectful original composition and permission to use any supplied artwork are considered separately.
From a story to a keepsake
Start with the person receiving the gift and the story you want it to hold. A family reference, the exact name of a place or a short account of the occasion gives the enquiry a useful beginning. Include any preferred wording and say which details are essential. The finished artwork and presentation are agreed with you before production.
All curated orders are made to order, with a minimum of 20 pieces per design and weight. Coin preferences are 10g, 15g, 20g, 25g, 50g, 100g. Weight describes the metal quantity; dimensions, relief and finish are separate parts of the specification. An enquiry helps establish feasibility and does not reserve stock or confirm a delivery date.
The presentation can hold the words that do not fit on the object: who gave it, why the motif was chosen and which moment it remembers. We discuss the kit or box as part of the quote, with its price and tax shown separately from the coin. Custom artwork and other additional work is confirmed before you decide to proceed.
Check names, scripts and the proposed depiction with the people who know the intended context. A commercial commission does not establish a temple, religious body, artist or other institution’s approval. Where a different format would suit the recipient better, the enquiry can explore that too.
