Naga (Pedestal) Singing Bowl – A Sacred Ritual Vessel

Description:

The Naga Singing Bowl, also known as the Pedestal Bowl, is a unique and rare form of singing bowl traditionally used in ritual and ceremonial settings. What sets it apart is its distinctive design: the bowl is mounted on a central pedestal or base, resembling a chalice or goblet.This type of bowl is often associated with symbolic offerings, spiritual rituals, and temple use in Tibetan and Nepalese traditions. While it can produce sound, it is primarily valued for its ceremonial presence and symbolic form rather than sustained tonal quality.

Key Features:

• Shape: Round bowl resting on a raised pedestal (not flat-bottomed).

• Material: Made from a traditional alloy of 5–7 metals.

• Sound: Produces a clear but short resonance; tones are typically lighter and more subtle than other types.

• Size Range: Small to medium in size (typically 4–8 inches in diameter).

• Crafting Style: Hand-hammered or cast, with possible decorative engravings or markings.

Uses:

• Temple rituals and spiritual ceremonies

• Symbolic offerings or altar decoration

• Meditation and mindfulness (secondary use)

• Collecting as a rare and ornate sacred object

Why Choose a Naga Singing Bowl?

Though not primarily used for deep sound healing like Jambati or Thadobati bowls, the Naga bowl holds cultural and spiritual significance. It brings a sense of sacred tradition to any spiritual practice or sacred space and is an elegant choice for altars, rituals, and collectors of rare antique pieces.
