ABHISHEK PATRAS FOR ABHISHEKAM

The Abhishek Patra is one of the Hindu ritual items usually crafted in the shape of a pot or cuboid and is used in the ceremony of bathing the deities. This ritual is known as Abhishek or Abhishekam. The deities are honored by the devotees with a shower of liquids such as milk, yogurt, clarified butter, water, honey, and fruit juices. The Patra is used in temples and homes where small deities are worshiped. The number of deities that can be accommodated depends upon the size of the Abhishek Patra. Exotic India is delighted to offer an extensive collection of Abhishek Patras that come in exquisite shapes and designs and hold great spiritual significance in the Vedic culture.

Made from high-quality brass, each Patra in this collection is a testament to the diligent skills of the artisans who pour their utmost care and dedication into bringing the religious essence to the masterpieces. Our ornamental cuboidal Abhishek Puja accessories are gracefully adorned with motifs inspired by traditional South Indian art. The bright golden finish offers them an opulent appeal inducing a reverential mood in devotional service. The hanging Shiva Linga Abhishek Patra is so made that the Kalash receives water from atop and showers it on the Shiva Lingam through the strainer at the bottom. Uniquely crafted Abhishek Patra in the shape of a serpent forming a hood above the plate is a pure work of art to be appreciated. On the tray of the Patra, the deities are seated, bathed, dressed and decorated accompanied by reciting hymns and chanting of the holy names. Each Abhishek Patra then opens into a narrow passage from where the ‘Charanamrita’ or the sacred nectar is collected in another metallic vessel and distributed amongst the devotees.

From plain trays to ornate designs, our Abhishek Patras are suitable for Abhishekam ritual at every Hindu festival. We invite you to explore the assortment and choose the paraphernalia that suits your needs and preferences.
