Lota - Chombu -6 inch

This is a typical Iyengar chombu made from durable brass. Made for sanctity, this Iyengar chombu has a flattened bottom for placing on the floor. It is designed to have minimum area of contact with the floor to keep it pure. It has a large belly (goblet) tapers up to form a narrow neck .The opening of the neck is wider thus allowing the water inside to flow out with ease. These chombus are hand-made with the joints skillfully hammered to form the shape. The outer edges of the opening of the mouth are folded back to form a nice metal ring which makes the chombu strong and sturdy. The shape of the neck is conveniently designed to have tight grip when held with hand to pour water or to hold it with five fingers when carried. The design of the Iyengar chombu is such that it allows the entire water to be poured out from its large belly through its wide mouth.
