About this piece

The keys are in hand and the first puja in the new home is next. This hamper holds what it calls for: a copper kalash, a Vastu tortoise, 250 ml of A2 ghee, Gangajal and a puja kit. We assemble it in Mumbai and gift-wrap it, so it is ready to hand over at the door. The box is 40 × 30 × 16 cm and weighs 3.1 kg.

Why it's traditionally used

The first puja in a new home begins with Ganesha and a kalash of water set out for the deities to be invited in. Gangajal is sprinkled through the rooms, a ghee lamp is lit, and the Vastu tortoise, Vishnu's Kurma form, is placed near the entrance. Families give this hamper at the door on the griha pravesh day, so the hosts have what the pandit asks for.

Care

Wipe dry after every aarti; water spots become tarnish within a day.
Clean monthly with pitambari or tamarind pulp, rinse, and dry with a soft cloth.
Keep lacquered pieces away from flame and abrasives; the coating is what keeps them bright.
Rinse and dry after each use; copper darkens fast when left wet.
Restore shine with lemon and salt or tamarind, then rinse and dry immediately.
