Kalash and Lota, 4 to 8 inch
About this collection
Shoppers search for a copper lota at 4 or 5 inches, or a brass ganga jali at 4 or 6 inches. This page holds kalash and lota pieces in the middle sizes, and each piece names its metal, so the copper and brass pieces can be compared side by side. Each piece names its metal and height.
Copper and brass both need care: wash the inside after use, dry it fully, and do not leave water standing in it. Copper reacts with acidic food, so keep it for water and puja use. Keep the inside dry when you store the pot, and check it before each puja.
