See It In Your Home
The homa or havana of Hinduism is a votive ritual. It is performed by lighting a fire within a kunda, into which ghee, seeds, incense, and milk are poured. It must be noted that the elements which are consumed by the fire are of particular significance to the grihastha or householder. A havana is a necessary and sufficient responsibility of the successful grihastha.
‘Kunda’ is the vernacular term for the vessel within which the homagni (‘agni’ means fire) is lit. The one that you see on this page is a brass havana-kunda. It is quadrilateral in shape and forms three tiers, three and some of its multiples being a holy number in Hinduism.
A well-made havana-kunda such as this is indispensable to the duteous grihastha. It would be useful in private rituals conducted for the well-being of your immediate family, as well as in poojas and weddings. The smooth, highly polished finish of pure brass would add to the glamour of your homa.

Brass statues are known and appreciated for their exquisite beauty and luster. The brilliant bright gold appearance of Brass makes it appropriate for casting aesthetic statues and sculptures. Brass is a metal alloy composed mainly of copper and zinc. This chemical composition makes brass a highly durable and corrosion-resistant material.

Brass statues can withstand even harsh weather conditions very well due to their corrosion-resistance properties. However, maintaining the luster and natural beauty of brass statues is essential if you want to prolong their life and appearance.
In case you have a colored brass statue, you may apply mustard oil using a soft brush or clean cloth on the brass portion while for the colored portion of the statue, you may use coconut oil with a cotton cloth.
