Indian deities carry a number of objects in their hands and each of them has a deep symbolic significance and is important in iconography.

A kamandalu of this nature is associated with Shiva in his Shiva in his ascetic form. Like a typical sanyasi, Shiva carries a kamandalu, for his rituals and ablutions. The Hindus believe that in the beginning, the universe was all water. The earth issued out of the primeval water.

Images of Shiva depict his eight forms but whatever, the image; Shiva can always be recognized by some attributes, kamandalu being one of them. Hindu devotees especially Shaivites, consider any object associated with Shiva, with reverence. Many Hindu households use a kamandalu to store water from River Ganga, which is considered holy in itself, and stored in a water pot resembling that of Lord Shiva, turns it into amrit or the elixir of life. This water pot may be just simple to look but holds great importance. Since it is meant to hold holy water, it comes with a hook so that it can be hung at a safe place and the water used for rituals as and when required.
