Kumbam / Kalasam

Kumbam / Kalasam

The pot or kumbam symbolizes mother earth, the water inside it the life-giver; the leaves life, and the coconut divine consciousness.

This particular snap is from shastyabdapoorthi (60th birthday) celebration. The kumbam is being depicted as god and prayed for goodwellness. Then the water from this is poured onto the couple symbolising gods blessings for a healthy life.
