BRASS SMALL PARA AND SANDAL BOWL

Brass Small Para

The brass small para is a traditional vessel widely used in Hindu households for pooja and decorative purposes. Made by the expert artisans at Alackal Bell Metals in Mannar, Kerala, this small para exemplifies the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of the region.

The para, traditionally used for measuring grain, has found its place in religious ceremonies and home décor. In pooja rooms, the brass small para is often used to hold offerings such as grains, flowers, or even small amounts of prasadam. Its compact size makes it ideal for small home pooja rooms, where it can fit comfortably on altars or shelves.

Crafted from high-quality brass, the small para is not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing. The brass material gives it a warm, golden hue that adds a touch of elegance and sanctity to the pooja room. The para's design, often simple yet elegant, reflects the traditional ethos and cultural richness of Kerala’s craftsmanship.

Beyond its religious uses, the brass small para serves as a beautiful decorative piece. It can be used to hold potpourri, small plants, or decorative stones, making it a versatile addition to home décor. Its timeless appeal and traditional charm make it a conversation piece that can enhance the aesthetic of any living space.

Sandal Bowl (Chandanodam)

The sandal bowl, or Chandanodam, is a crucial item for Hindu rituals, used to prepare and offer sandalwood paste (chandan) to deities. The Chandanodam from Alackal Bell Metals, crafted from premium brass, embodies the fine art of metalworking for which Mannar is renowned.

This brass sandal bowl is specifically designed to hold and preserve the sandalwood paste, a significant element in Hindu worship due to its soothing fragrance and cooling properties. The bowl’s smooth, polished interior ensures that the paste remains pure and uncontaminated, while its exterior often features intricate designs that highlight the artisans' skill and attention to detail.

In a small home pooja room, the brass Chandanodam is not only functional but also adds a decorative touch. Its presence on the pooja altar enhances the sacred ambiance, making the worship experience more profound. The bowl’s elegant design and the sheen of the brass contribute to the spiritual atmosphere, symbolizing purity and devotion.

Moreover, the brass sandal bowl can be a beautiful addition to home décor. When not used for pooja, it can hold small trinkets, aromatic herbs, or decorative items, making it a versatile piece that blends functionality with aesthetics.
