Product details
Brass Shanku Chakra Pooja Lota Small – Set of 2 is a pair of small kalash-style brass lotas with a flared rim, a ribbed neck band, and a rounded belly engraved with the shanku and chakra, the symbols associated with Lord Vishnu, set within a diamond lattice pattern. It is handcrafted, used to hold water, ganga jal, or other liquids offered during pooja, and 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.
Product Highlights
•
Shanku and Chakra Engraving - Carries the conch and discus, symbols associated with Lord Vishnu, engraved across the body of each lota.
•
Diamond Lattice Pattern - A criss-cross engraved band runs alongside the symbol work, giving the surface a fuller, more detailed finish.
•
Classic Kalash-Style Shape - A flared mouth, ribbed neck, and rounded belly give it the traditional silhouette recognised across Indian pooja rituals.
•
Solid Brass Build - Made from brass, the metal long used for pooja lotas and water vessels in Indian homes.
•
Sold as a Pair - Comes as two identical lotas, so there's no need to order separately for a matching set.
•
Mid-Sized for a Lota - Measures about 7.5 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height, weighing close to 70 grams, larger than a plain small lota but still compact enough for a pooja shelf.
Why Choose Kansa & Clay Heritage Kitchen Brass Shanku Chakra Pooja Lota – Set of 2?
•
Carries Meaning Beyond a Plain Lota - Unlike our plain Pooja Lota Small set, this one carries the shanku and chakra motifs, giving it symbolic value tied to Lord Vishnu.
•
A Larger, More Detailed Vessel Than a Plain Lota - Sized and engraved for a more prominent presence on a pooja shelf, compared to a smaller unmarked lota.
•
A Lota, Not a Bowl - Unlike our Shanku Chakra Bowl set, this piece has the narrow-necked, flared-rim shape suited to pouring water rather than a wide-mouthed bowl for offerings.
•
A Ready-Made Pair - Two matching lotas in one order, useful for daily pooja, festival rituals, or gifting as a set.
Frequently Asked Questions
•
What is this pooja lota used for?
It is mainly used to hold water, ganga jal, or other liquids during pooja and other Indian religious rituals.
•
Is this the same as your plain Brass Pooja Lota Small set?
No. That set is plain with no engraving. This one carries the shanku and chakra motifs along with a diamond lattice pattern, and it's a slightly larger size.
•
How is this different from your Shanku Chakra Bowl set?
The bowl has a wide mouth and ring handles, suited to offerings or water storage. This lota has a narrow neck and flared rim, shaped for pouring.
•
Does the engraving affect how easily the lota can be cleaned?
No. The engraved pattern doesn't trap water any differently from a plain surface, and it can be cleaned the same way as other brass pooja items.
•
Can this size hold enough water for a full pooja ritual?
At about 7.5 cm in diameter, it holds a moderate quantity, suitable for regular pooja use rather than very large ceremonial needs.
