Hinduism - What Is Sthala Murti?

 

 ("stable picture") A deity's image that is fixed in one location and does not move (in the case of stone images, this is often because such images are so large and heavy that moving them is virtually impossible).

The utsava murti, a mobile image used during festival processions, is the other kind of image.
