The intricately carved antique wooden box was used to store Vibhuti. Also referred to as Bhasma (holy ash), Vibhuti is of 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.
