In Indian households, it has been a tradition of using earthenware and brass utensils for storage, and many rituals in Pooja, which are done in Hinduism to worship gods and goddesses.
Water pots or lota are used to offer water in many Hindu rituals during Pooja and even in the morning when people worship Surya dev or Sun God and thank him for the new day.
These brass pots are handmade and handcrafted by local artisans in India, which means they are sustainable and a friend to the environment.
There is a difference between an Indian matka and an Indian lota which is most of the time mistaken for being the same, but if you see the shape and size of both, you can recognise the difference eventually.
The Indian brass lota or water pot has different kinds of finishing, but the common factor in all of them is that they are vintage.
It is believed that matka or earthen water pots keep many of the gastro problems away from the body. Earlier, people used to be much healthier than people nowadays.
Many products used in the earlier days are coming back in trend because people have realised that there was a reason behind the conventional methods and products being used by our ancestors or grandparents.
