Festival Season Prasada Pakam Set

Prasada Pakam Set – Handcrafted Brass Cookware for Making and Offering Prasadam Prasadam is not ordinary cooking. It is made for the deity first and eaten afterwards, and the vessel it is made in is part of the offering. Prasada Pakam Set, consisting of 3 pieces, covers the full arc of that stage of any festival, cooking the payasam, sweet pongal, or modak, then arranging and presenting it as naivedyam before the deity being worshipped that season. All three pieces are made by the Thatheras of Jandiala Guru, Punjab, 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 Degchi Cooking Pot (Medium) : The deep pot for preparing sweet pongal, payasam, modak and other festive dishes. • Brass Jalebi Tray : A shallow tray for sweets and fried offerings. • Brass Tambalam, uncoated : The wide rimmed plate on which the finished prasadam is arranged and offered. • 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 each use and dry fully before storing. To restore shine, clean with tamarind or lemon and a little salt, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Gradual tarnish is natural for pure brass and confirms the metal is genuine. Why Choose Kansa & Clay Heritage Kitchen Prasada Pakam Set? • Cook and offer in one set : Most festival sets stop at serving. This one starts at the stove. • 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. • Everyday cookware, not a festival prop : The degchi and tray are used through the year, well beyond any single festival. • Suits the whole festival calendar : The same set works for Varamahalakshmi Vratham, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Janmashtami, Diwali, and daily prasadam-making at home. • Made to be handed down : Brass does not degrade. It darkens, gets cleaned, and outlives the person who bought it. Frequently Asked Questions • What does Prasada Pakam mean? Paakam refers to the cooking or preparation.
