What to know about kalash and kalsi
Choose a kalash by its rite, its size and its finish. A pooja kalash is sized to the altar and to the coconut it carries; a wedding or temple kalash can be much larger. Plain, printed and nakshi (engraved) finishes suit different occasions, and Om and swastik designs are made for worship. Copper is the traditional metal for holding water in a rite; brass for display and gifting. For a wedding set, ask what it contains.
