Lota and Panchpatra with Stone and Colour Work
About this collection
Lota and panchpatra pieces with stone and colour work are brass puja vessels for water and offerings. The stone and colour are part of the design, so the choice is mostly about the look you want on a puja table or in a festive display. Pick the finish you prefer, since the stone and colour are part of the look.
Keep the stone and colour work dry and free of oil. Rinse the vessel after each use, wipe the outside with a soft cloth, and avoid water on the coloured parts. Dry the lota fully so the metal does not mark. Use the lota on a tray so that any water spilt is caught before it reaches the table.
