brass annapoorani marakkal (3.0)

The Brass Annapoorani Marakkal is a traditional South Indian measuring vessel, meticulously handcrafted in pure brass, and deeply rooted in cultural, ritualistic, and culinary heritage —especially in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The term “Marakkal” refers to an ancient volumetric unit of measurement, historically used to measure grains like rice, especially during temple offerings, festivals, and charitable acts. “Annapoorani” is a revered name in Hindu tradition—symbolizing the goddess of food and nourishment—and is often associated with abundance, charity, and divine blessing through food. Thus, the Annapoorani Marakkal is not just a measuring cup but a sacred symbol of prosperity and generosity.
