Product details
Brass Shanku Chakra Bowl – Set of 2 is a pair of deep, round brass bowls with a ring handle on either side, carrying an engraved band around the body that includes the shanku and chakra, the symbols associated with Lord Vishnu, along with a diamond lattice pattern. It is handcrafted, sized larger than a typical pooja dibbi, and used to hold offerings, flowers, or water during rituals. It works well as a pooja room essential or as a symbolic Navratri or Diwali return gift for family, friends, and guests in India or abroad.

•
Solid Brass Build - Made from brass, the metal traditionally used for pooja bowls and offering vessels in Indian households.

Why Choose Kansa & Clay Heritage Kitchen Brass Shanku Chakra Bowl – Set of 2?
•
A Bowl, Not a Flat Plate - Unlike our Shanku Chakra Plate sets, this one has depth, making it more suited to holding water, loose flowers, or larger offerings rather than laying items flat.
•
Handles for Easy Handling - The ring handles make it simpler to move or hang the bowl compared to a plain rimless piece.
•
A Fuller Engraved Surface - Combining the Vishnu motifs with a lattice pattern gives it a more detailed look than a bowl with symbol engraving alone.
•
A Ready-Made Pair - Two identical bowls arrive in one order, useful for a symmetrical pooja setup or for gifting as a set.
Frequently Asked Questions
•
What is this bowl typically used for in pooja?
It is used to hold offerings such as flowers, coins, or akshata, and its depth also makes it suitable for holding water during rituals.
•
How is this different from your Shanku Chakra Plate sets?
This is a deep bowl with handles, while the plate sets are flat and shallow. The bowl suits water or loose offerings better; the plates suit laying out items flat.
•
What are the ring handles on the sides for?
They make the bowl easier to lift or carry, and also allow it to be hung when not in use.
•
Can this bowl hold water, or is it meant only for dry offerings?
It can hold water as well as dry offerings, since it has a deeper body than a flat pooja plate.
•
Does the engraved pattern cover the whole bowl or just a band around it?
The shanku, chakra, and lattice engraving run in a band around the body, while the base and rim are left plain.
