Usage & Historical Context
A smaller version of the traditional patra set, the 2-bowl brass patra is used for serving select prasad, dry fruits, or holy offerings. This format was often seen during individual poojas or temple rituals when only a few items needed presentation—like tulsi leaves with sugar, sandal paste, or soaked almonds. Compact yet ceremonial, this piece bridges utility and reverence.

Benefits
With two attached bowls, it’s perfect for minimalist setups—offering balance without excess. Pure brass ensures durability, elegance, and ease of cleaning. The fixed base makes it convenient to place on pooja thalis or temple shelves. Ideal for daily worship or intimate ceremonies. It can also be used as a unique serving set for spices, dips, or condiments during traditional meals.

Brass products naturally oxidize and develop patina over time. With proper care, they retain their beauty and functionality for generations.

Daily Use Care
Wipe dry after use: After contact with water or food, gently dry with a soft cloth to avoid stains or spots.

Keep away from harsh chemicals: Avoid dishwashers, bleach, or abrasive soaps.

Use dry materials: If using for dry snacks, pooja samagri, or spices, ensure the brass is moisture-free.

Weekly or Occasional Cleaning
1. Natural Cleaning (Homemade Polish)
Lemon & Salt: Cut a lemon, sprinkle salt, rub gently, rinse and dry. Removes tarnish and revives shine.

Tamarind or Vinegar: Soak for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Besan & Curd: A traditional method—mix gram flour and curd, apply as a scrub, then rinse off.

2. Pitambari Powder (Recommended for Brass)
Apply a small amount of Pitambari powder with a damp cloth or sponge.

Rub gently in circular motions to clean and restore luster.

Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely.

Use gloves if you have sensitive skin.

Note: Pitambari is specifically designed for brass, copper, and bronze – safe, effective, and quick.

Tin-Lined Brass Care (e.g., Sipri, Handi, Kadhai)
Wash gently with mild soap and soft sponge—avoid lemon or salt on inner tin lining.

Re-tin (kalai) every 6–12 months if the lining wears out for safe food use.

Avoid acidic ingredients like tomato or tamarind if the lining is worn.

Storage Tips
Store in a dry place to prevent tarnish.

Wrap items in soft cloth or muslin if not used regularly.

For pooja brassware, store separately from kitchenware.
