Brass Kodam Buying Guides

Kodam (also called kalasam or kalash) is one of the most widely used ritual vessels in Hindu ceremonies, symbolising abundance and the presence of the divine. Wholesale buyers order from us for the following occasions:

Kumbabhishekam

The primary use of kodam in bulk — Kumbabhishekam (temple consecration) requires large sets of kalasam, often in counts of 108 or 1008, filled with holy water and placed atop the temple gopuram and sanctum. See our Kumbabhishekam Packages.

Homam & Yagam (Yagna)

Homam and yagam ceremonies — including Ganapathy Homam, Navagraha Homam, Ayush Homam, and Chandi Yagam — use a kodam to hold sacred water (theertham) that is consecrated during the fire ritual and distributed to devotees afterward.

Grihapravesham (Housewarming)

A filled kodam is placed at the entrance during Grihapravesham to invite prosperity into a new home. Families and event contractors order individual pieces or small sets for this purpose.

Sashtiabdapoorthi & Shanti Ceremonies

Sashtiabdapoorthi (60th birthday), Sathabhishekam (80th birthday), and other milestone-birthday shanti ceremonies use decorated kodam as part of the ritual arrangement.

Seemantham & Upanayanam

Seemantham (baby shower ritual) and Upanayanam (sacred thread ceremony) both include kalasam sthapana (installation) as part of the proceedings.

Weddings (Kalyanam)

South Indian wedding rituals include kalasa sthapana at the mandapam — often a matched pair or set of decorated brass or copper kodam.

Daily Temple Abhishekam & Festival Processions

Temples use kodam daily for abhishekam (ritual bathing of the deity) and during festival processions such as Navratri, Pongal, and Deepavali celebrations.

Vastu Shanti & Bhoomi Pooja

Kodam filled with water and mango leaves is used in Bhoomi Pooja and Vastu Shanti ceremonies before construction begins on a new building or plot.
