Brass panja pathram (No 1)

The Brass Panja Pathram (also spelled Panjapatram or Panja Patra) is a sacred ritual vessel widely used in Hindu worship, especially during pujas, abhishekam (ritual bathing of deities), yajnas (fire rituals), and temple ceremonies. Like its copper counterpart, it features a distinctive five-spouted design, symbolizing spiritual and cosmic principles, but is crafted from brass—an alloy of copper and zinc—valued for its durability, luster, and ritual purity.
