Description
Brass Pancha Pathram No 1 is the small brass vessel that holds the water used through a puja. In South Indian practice it stands on the thali and the water is lifted out of it a spoonful at a time.
The water in it is what does the work through a ceremony. It is offered to the deity, used for achaman, sprinkled over the offerings and poured for abhishek, and the vessel is refilled rather than topped up mid puja. Number 1 is the smaller of the two brass sizes the shop stocks.
What is a pancha pathram actually for? It is the water vessel of a puja. Water goes in it at the start, gets lifted out with the uddharini spoon through the ceremony, and is used for offering, purifying the hands and pouring over the murti.
Does the spoon come with it? The name normally covers the vessel and the uddharini spoon as a pair, but this listing does not itemise it and we are not going to assume. Ring +31 6 20009192 before ordering if you need the spoon in the same purchase.
In copper instead, the copper vessel in the same number is the traditional metal for water, and the pooja vessel and thali shelf holds the bells, lamps and plates that go with it. Rinse it and dry it after every use, because water left standing in the vessel is what marks the metal.
