The urli is a sacred ceremonial water basin from Kerala and South India, used for centuries at home entrances, courtyards, and prayer rooms as a daily offering vessel for floating flowers, petals, and oil lamps. Its presence in a space signals welcome, prosperity, and devotional intention, transforming any entrance or sacred corner into a living altar that changes with each fresh bloom placed upon its surface.
This urli is the largest and most ornate of the range, distinguished by its cast scrollwork decorative elements positioned on the outer wall beside each handle, a detail visible clearly in the close-up image and rarely seen on standard urlis. The handles themselves are open-form cast tubes, hollow and robust, giving this piece a distinctly traditional and ceremonial quality. The outer wall carries a deep black antique finish with natural wear and character across its surface, while the broad interior rim glows with a warm gold bronze tone where the metal is less oxidized, creating a rich contrast between the dark exterior and luminous inner surface. A gentle banding line runs below the rim completing the profile.
At 27 inches wide this is the most generous urli in the range, holding the largest water surface for expansive flower arrangements. It suits a garden entrance, courtyard, or dedicated prayer room as a commanding sacred centerpiece. The stone pedestal base shown in the image is sold separately. Filled with marigolds, lotus blooms, or floating candles, this urli becomes the focal point of any sacred or garden space.

"The statue chooses you.
You know when you find the right piece to bring into your home and into your heart."
~ Kyle Tortora, Founder, Lotus Sculpture ~
Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece.
All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
If you would like the piece to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the bronze statue.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
