Matte Brass Royal Anjarai Petti · Traditional Masala Box

Seven Brass Spice Cups · Matching Spoon · Engraved Lid

This heavy-gauge, solid pure brass spice container is known traditionally as the Anjarai Petti (and globally recognized across cultural regions as the Masala Dabba, Spices Box, or Masala Patra). In our ancient culinary heritage, storing essential cooking items in pure brass is highly valued for its natural protective qualities. This luxurious set features a beautiful premium matte-gold finish that resists fingerprint marks, combined with a lid displaying an intricately engraved traditional floral vine border pattern and a solid center lifting knob.

The main round container houses seven individual brass spice cups alongside a matching custom-sized brass seasoning spoon. In Indian household traditions, organizing daily spices into separate cups within a single mother box keeps your essential cooking blends neatly arranged while protecting their natural oils, pungent aromas, and medicinal values from fading. Perfectly sized for regular countertop use, this food-safe culinary container brings an unmistakable heritage warmth into any traditional or modern kitchen setup. It is a highly practical, non-porous masterpiece built to last for decades, making it a universally appreciated housewarming, wedding, festive season, or culinary milestone gift for home cooks who value authentic flavor preservation.

“Tradition lives in the recipes we remember; quality lives in the care with which we make the things that hold them. In every cup of this Anjarai Petti, the two find a place in the everyday kitchen.”
Key Features
  • Traditional 7-Cup Layout — Includes seven deep, matching brass cups and a mini spice spoon to neatly isolate and store your cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, and blends.
  • Engraved Matte-Gold Lid — Adorned with a classic hand-etched floral vine pattern and a centered vertical knob for easy lifting and an elegant countertop display.
  • Heavy-Gauge Sheet Metal — Forged from thick, premium quality solid brass to provide high weight density, ensuring the container base and cup walls resist bending or warping over time.
  • Universal Household Gift — A beautifully structured kitchen companion that appeals directly to food lovers across all backgrounds as an emblem of warmth and daily nourishment.

Imperial equivalents are approximate and rounded. The approximately 100-gram dry-spice quantity refers to the contents of an individual cup, not the vessel weight. The amount held varies with the spice, its density, and how loosely or tightly it is packed; it is not a fixed conversion from millilitres to grams.

Care & Maintenance

Made from super fine quality brass with a golden powder coated polish — gives a satin gold glow like a gold statue. Purely for decor and dry display. If used for pooja rituals, the golden polish layer will peel off over time. Keep it dry — and it will look as fresh as the day you bought it. Always.

No restrictions for pooja rituals. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve its traditional antique look. The dark patina is intentional — it deepens the beauty over time.

Powerful. Preferred for active pooja rituals — no restrictions. Traditional Cleaning Method: Use dara liquid and cashew nut seeds — an ancient method used by temple priests for generations. Gently rub with cashew nut seeds dipped in dara liquid. Rinse clean. Your idol will look brand new. Cleaning once every 30 days is recommended if used regularly for pooja.

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand this completely. You are buying online from a shop you have never visited. Here is the truth: Sri Swaminathan & Co has been standing at 61, Bakthapuri Street, Kumbakonam since 1973 — over 53 years. We are not a warehouse or a reseller. We are a family shop, rooted in Kumbakonam, where priests, temples, and devotees from across Tamil Nadu have been coming for generations. Travellers from Singapore, Malaysia, UK, and USA visit us when they come to Kumbakonam — because they know us. You can walk into our shop any day. We are real.
Because most sites sell products. We sell legacy. Every item in our shop — whether it is a small brass lamp or a 4-foot Panchaloha idol — comes from craftsmen whose families have been doing this since the Chola period. We do not source from factories. We do not compromise on material or finish to reduce price. When you buy from us, you are not just getting a product — you are getting 53 years of trust, traditional craftsmanship, and the assurance that what you receive is exactly what a devotee deserves.
This is a fair concern and we respect it. Here is why we do not offer COD — our products are handcrafted, fragile, and carefully packed for safe delivery. COD returns damage both the product and the trust. Instead, we offer something better: WhatsApp us before you order. We will send you a video of the actual product — the exact piece you will receive. You can ask us anything. Only when you are fully satisfied, you pay. Our 53-year reputation is our guarantee — we cannot afford to let even one customer down.
Not at all — and we are glad you asked this. Our products are made of brass and Panchaloha — metals that naturally catch and reflect light from every angle. What you see as dark shades or bright reflections in photos is simply the metal doing what metal does — glowing, reflecting, and shining. We photograph every product as-is, with no filters, no AI, no editing. That reflection you see in the photo? You will see the same beautiful glow when it sits in your pooja room. It is not a defect — it is the character of real metal.
Yes — and here is why we say this with full confidence. Panchaloha idols require the right alloy, the right casting method, and the right finishing — done by craftsmen who understand the spiritual significance of what they are making. Our Panchaloha idols are hand-cast in Kumbakonam and Swamimalai by hereditary artisans using the traditional lost-wax method — the same method used to make idols for consecrated temples across South India. Priests trust our idols for temple installation. Families trust us for home pooja rooms. In 53 years, that trust has never been broken.
