A steel Pooja Kindi is a vessel specifically designed for use in religious rituals and ceremonies in Hindu households. It is commonly used in Pooja (worship) practices and is typically made of stainless steel or other metallic materials.
The Pooja Kindi is designed with a narrow spout or nozzle, allowing controlled pouring of water or other sacred substances during the Pooja. It is considered a sacred vessel and is used for various purposes, such as:
-
Abhishekam: During Abhishekam, which is a ritualistic bathing of deities or sacred objects, water, milk, honey, or other consecrated liquids are poured over the deity using the Pooja Kindi.
-
Ritual purification: The Pooja Kindi is also used for ritual purification, where devotees sprinkle water on themselves or others as a symbolic act of cleansing and purifying the body and mind before entering a sacred space or engaging in worship.
-
Offering to deities: Devotees may use the Pooja Kindi to offer water, milk, or other liquids as a form of worship to the deities, symbolizing their devotion and surrender.
-
Holy water distribution: In some instances, the water from the Pooja Kindi may be collected and distributed to the devotees as Prasadam (consecrated offering) or as blessed holy water believed to have spiritual benefits.
The choice of using a steel Pooja Kindi may depend on personal preference, cultural traditions, or availability. Steel is a commonly used material for Pooja Kindis due to its durability, ease of maintenance, and hygienic properties. Additionally, steel is considered a pure and auspicious metal in Hindu customs.
