Urli or uruli is supposed to be a round vessel, traditionally used as cookware in South India; large ones in temples to feed a multitude of people in a single day and the smaller sizes were used at home for certain slow cooking dishes. Apart from these, they also had great value for being used in ayurvedic treatments for preparing certain herbal potions and to boil massage oils. With the changes in the society, the use of this vessel has also been shifted from kitchen and clinics to an ornamentation that will decorate your home or office premises creating an essence of spirituality as well as ultimate beauty.
The urli that you see on this page is beautifully and perfectly carved in finite bronze; ornated with a large traditionalized broch in the centre and the other three sides decorated with stylized and wavy legs that support its base. You may zoom in to see the multipurpose use of this designer vessel; every Vaishnava symbol (chakra, tilak and conch) is surrounded by multiple wick diyas in the shape of a flower, hence it is also a form of lamp that can enlighten the surroundings with its glowing rays.
The two majestic peacocks on either side spread an aura of love and purity with their presence. The artisan has put his immense skills and years of valuable experience to carve this charming home décor in clear and précised patterns and filigree work, with each curve, line and texture visible individually in their utmost beauty. It is also used as a vastu element, as the water that it holds in its deep round vessel denotes the inward flow of wealth and this water is covered with rose petals and lit with the floating candles or diyas in it. This water ornamentation is opined to be a remover of negativities for a smooth work flow and also an embellishment to ornate your surroundings.
