PRASADAM URULI | NAIVEDYAM URULI
The Prasadam Uruli, also known as Naivedyam Uruli, is a traditional vessel used for offering food to deities during pooja rituals. With a diameter of 3 inches, this uruli is perfectly sized for presenting naivedyam (sacred food offerings) in home pooja rooms and temples.
Crafted by Alackal Bell Metals, a renowned name in the field of traditional metal works, the Prasadam Uruli reflects the rich cultural heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Mannar, a town in Kerala known for its expertise in bell metal manufacturing. The artisans of Mannar are celebrated for their skill in creating high-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing metalware, and this uruli is no exception.
The Prasadam Uruli is not only an exquisite piece of art but also holds significant religious importance. Bell metal, an alloy of copper and tin, is prized for its resonance and durability. It is believed that the sound produced by bell metal items has auspicious and purifying properties, making it a preferred material for religious artifacts.
The 3-inch diameter of this uruli makes it an ideal choice for personal worship practices. It is compact enough to fit in most home pooja rooms, yet large enough to hold a generous portion of naivedyam. This balance of size ensures that the offering remains humble and sincere, aligning with the traditional values of simplicity and devotion in worship.
Using the Prasadam Uruli for naivedyam emphasizes the importance of offering food to the deities as a token of gratitude and reverence. The food offered in this uruli is considered blessed and is later distributed among devotees as prasadam, which is believed to carry divine blessings.
