Add a touch of old world charm to your home with this brass singing bowl from Nepal.

Created by artisans in Nepal, this beautiful singing bowl is a religious and decorative tradition. Hold the brass bowl in the palm of your hand, gently rub the wooden handle around the outside rim, and hear its distinctive sound. Singing bowls, also known as meditation bowls, have a history of curative use. The sound vibration aids concentration and evokes the kundaline chakra. Using mud and sand dye, melted brass is poured into the form to make each bowl. Seven recovered scrap metals make up the brass, so nothing new is taken from the environment during production. All bowls are finished by a laborious hand polishing process called sand casting.

The Story Behind the Product

Working with brass is Surinder Pal Singh's traditional occupation. He makes a variety of brass items including candle holders and other brass figurines. He leaned the craft from his father and according to him there is a special ratio that one has to keep in mind while making brass singing bowls. The brass is first melted and then beaten into sheets to be molded in the shape of a ringing bowl. Surinder Pal has two sons and a wife. His sons are now learning the craft of working on brass from him. He hopes that they too will be able to continue making a living with this traditional art form.
