Panch Patra

💧 Antra Organics Pure Copper Panchpatra (Achmani Vessel): The Quintessential Ritual Bowl

Product Overview

The Antra Organics Pure Copper Panchpatra (vessel) is the small, fundamental container used in Hindu rituals (Puja and Hawan) to hold the sacred sipping water known as Tirth or Charan Amrit. As the name suggests (Panch meaning five, Patra meaning vessel), it is considered auspicious and is essential for the Achamanam ceremony, the act of internal purification performed before beginning worship. Crafted from 99.9% pure copper, this vessel ensures the sanctity and ritual correctness of your sacred water.

Key Features

• ✨ 99.9% Pure Copper: Made from the most ritually auspicious metal, ensuring the purity and energetic conductivity of the holy water it contains.

• 🙏 Essential for Purification: Used to hold the water that is ritually sipped (Achamanam) to cleanse the body, mind, and speech before performing a sacred act.

• 💧 Sacred Container: Ideal for storing Tirth (holy water) or Charan Amrit (nectar from deity feet wash) for distribution to devotees.

• 💪 Traditional and Stable: Designed with a small, stable base and gently curved walls, perfect for altar placement.

Spiritual Significance

The Panchpatra is a symbol of inner and outer cleanliness in worship:

• Cleansing the Devotee: The ritual sipping of water from this vessel is symbolic of removing impurities before one can connect with the divine.

• Respect for Sanctity: Using a copper vessel adheres to ancient scripts that mandate its use for holding and serving water during rituals.

Usage and Care

• Ritual: Fill the Panchpatra with clean water. The water is then served using a small Achmani Spoon (often sold separately as a set) for sipping.

• Altar Placement: Typically placed on the altar alongside the Pooja Lota and other ritual implements.

• Maintenance: Copper will naturally tarnish. To maintain its ritual purity and shine, clean the vessel regularly using a natural mixture of lemon juice and salt or tamarind paste, rinsing thoroughly afterward.
