HAND CARVED HOLY ASH HOLDER

This  hand carved antique Vibhuti holder made of teakwood has carved patterns on it and a hook to hang it in the pooja room.

Vibhuti also referred to as Bhasma (holy ash) carries great significance in Hinduism and especially in Shaivism where it is thought to symbolise the mystic power of Lord Shiva. In Hindu spirituality, wearing ashes serves as a reminder that all mortal life and existence eventually ends in ashes.

These intricately carved wooden boxes were used to store Vibhuti in parts of South India. This is great collectible and perfect addition to your curious.
