Neivedhyam Seva Set

Neivedhyam Seva Set – Handcrafted Brass Tambalam and Katori for Naivedyam Naivedyam is food offered to the deity before anyone in the house eats. What it is served on matters: the offering is arranged, presented and left before the Goddess, and tradition has always reserved brass for that purpose. Neivedhyam Seva Set, consisting of 2 pieces, is made by the Thatheras of Jandiala Guru, Punjab, a community whose traditional brass and copper utensil-making craft was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2014. Each vessel is hammered into shape by hand over small wood-fired stoves. Read more: Meet the Thatheras of Punjab. Product Highlights • Brass Tambalam (Medium) : A wide, rimmed plate for arranging the naivedyam, fruits and festive offerings before the deity. • Brass Traditional Katori (Small) : For the payasam, sweets or prasadam offered alongside the main spread. • Sized to work together : The katori sits on the tambalam without crowding it, something you rarely get piecing brassware together from different shops. • UNESCO-recognised craftsmanship : Every piece is hand-hammered by the Thatheras of Punjab over wood-fired stoves, using a technique on UNESCO's intangible heritage list. • Simple upkeep : Wash after use and dry fully before storing. To restore shine, clean with tamarind or lemon and a little salt, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Gradual tarnish is natural for pure brass. Why Choose Kansa & Clay Heritage Kitchen Neivedhyam Seva Set? • Built as a matched pair : The tambalam and katori are sized to sit together, not assembled from mismatched pieces. • Backed by UNESCO-recognised craft : Made by the Thatheras of Punjab, one of a small number of Indian crafts on UNESCO's intangible heritage list. • Used all year : Beyond Varamahalakshmi Vratham, it serves for Diwali, Navratri, satyanarayana pooja and the daily naivedyam. • A considered gift : Compact, useful and traditional, suitable for weddings, griha pravesh and festival gifting. • Made to be handed down : Brass does not degrade. It darkens, gets cleaned, and outlives the person who bought it. Frequently Asked Questions • What is naivedyam?
