Kalasha

The Kalasha is a colorful, small, and distinctive type of drinking vessel traditionally used for pouring liquids during religious ceremonies in some regions of South and Central Asia. Made from materials like clay, metal, or wood, it often features intricate designs and symbolism. The Kalasha is also a cultural symbol representing prosperity, spirituality, and community unity.
