Made from high-quality metal such as brass, copper, or stainless steel (based on variant), this Kalash is designed with both functionality and elegance in mind. It features a wide mouth and rounded body, ideal for holding water, rice, turmeric, coins, or other sacred items. The body often comes with traditional engravings or embossing of auspicious symbols like Om, Swastik, or Kalash itself, which enhance its spiritual value and aesthetic appeal.During Pooja, the Kalash is filled with water, topped with mango leaves, and crowned with a coconut, representing abundance, fertility, and purity. It is believed to invoke blessings from deities and create a sanctified environment filled with positive energy.

The Kalash is also widely used as a 'Purna-Kalasha', symbolizing fullness and wholeness, often placed at the entrance of the house or mandap during religious functions to welcome divine energies.
