The motifs on the lid, spout, and body are painstakingly engraved, lending depth and substance to the ceremonial aspect of the piece.

The Bhumba has a gorgeously crowned lid and an intricate spout adorned with auspicious images, such as lotuses or peacocks, which represent purity, wealth, and heavenly benefits. This Bhumba recalls traditional Tibetan creativity, while the copper tone and gold-plated decorations evoke a sense of reverence and majesty. This vase has historically been used in ceremonies to carry and sprinkle consecrated water, which purifies areas and invokes spiritual protection.
In Tibetan Buddhism, the Bhumba is an essential ceremonial tool that represents the vessel of wealth and the act of presenting pure intentions. It is used in major empowerments, blessings, and water offerings to cleanse bad energies and give merit to practitioners.
Introduction To Bhumba :
Water is essential in both Hindu and Buddhist rites, and it is always present on the altar, either in a pricey pot or in another container. Bhumba is a pot with the shape of a flat jar, featuring a pipe to draw out the water from the pot, which is elaborately embellished with valuable stones and metal.
