These ancient Ganga Pani water vessels are sacred objects, once used for 800 years to carry holy water from the Ganges to temples in Tibet and Nepal for prayer and meditation, known as Pooja. Hand-hammered from copper, each vessel carries the mark of the artisan, its seams and patina revealing centuries of devotion and use. Between 200 and 300 years old, they are among the last of their kind—once crafted in just a few villages, now lost to time, replaced by plastic. To hold one is to connect with a world that no longer exists—a piece of history, reverence, and artistry that will never be made again.
*This item is antique and will show some imperfections consistent with use and age which add to its beauty and are not considered flaws.
