A handmade, etched singing bowl made of a bronze alloy with trace amounts of noble metals (such as Ag, Ni, Cd, Ru, Pd, Pt, Cr, Mn), laser-engraved and hand-painted.
The interior shows White Tara seated on a multicoloured lotus throne, depicted in her serene, youthful form. She holds a blooming lotus (utpala) in her left hand while her right hand rests in the gesture of supreme generosity. Her seven eyes — on the face, palms and soles — are delicately indicated through the painting style, emphasising vigilance and compassionate awareness. The surrounding inner wall contains medallions with the Eight Auspicious Symbols, interspersed with cloud patterns, lotus motifs, endless knots and dharma wheels.
White Tara – Longevity and Compassion
The image represents White Tara, the embodiment of healing, protection and long life. Her additional eyes symbolise heightened awareness and the ability to perceive the suffering of beings in all directions. The lotus she holds signifies purity and continuous renewal, while the serene posture highlights her role in promoting clarity of mind and emotional balance. The auspicious symbols surrounding her reinforce themes of wellbeing, protection and spiritual nourishment, making this bowl well-suited for practices centred on healing, calm attention and restorative sound work.
Underside and Exterior
The outside of the bowl is decorated with cloud and wave motifs, circular mantra panels and ornamental borders. The underside features a large concentric geometric mandala composed of repeated triangular petals, surrounded by flame motifs, multi-ring mantra inscriptions and structured ornamental bands.
Hammered Singing Bowls
Hand‐hammered singing bowls are made through a complete hand‐hammering process. Each bowl is shaped and formed using traditional techniques, where metal discs are heated, stacked, and hammered by experienced artisans until they take the desired shape. This process is repeated several times to achieve the final form. As a result, each singing bowl is unique, with slight variations in size and shape that reflect the authentic craftsmanship. The alloy used consists of copper, tin, and a mixture of other metals, carefully combined to produce a rich, resonant tone. After shaping, each bowl is chiseled and polished, resulting in a durable and harmonious instrument suited for both ritual use and sound therapy.
Etching and Painting process
The deity images and decorative elements are first etched by high-powered laser and then lovingly hand-painted by skilled thanka artists, resulting in a unique, hand-finished surface.
