About this piece

5" solid brass Pooja Item — conch with carved figures. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.

About this deity

Every Indian pooja begins with a few simple objects: a bell, a vessel, a flame, a thread. These pieces — handmade in Moradabad's traditional workshops — are not decorative; they are functional. They will outlast the people who first use them.

Craft notes

The piece is finished in polished plain brass — bright, golden, and warm — with hand-engraved detailing where present. It will deepen in tone slightly with age. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.

Care & placement

Wash before first use. Hand-wash with warm water; avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character.
