Dhara Patra with Nandi Spout - 02

Used for the devotional ritual of abhishekam, which involves the pouring of a liquid offering on a deity, this dhara patra is an unusual collectible. With a Nandi (bull) as the spout, this dhara patra was most likely used to pour offerings on a Shivalinga. Made of brass, it comes displayed on a hand-made wooden stand.
