Brass Urli Serving Bowl with Lid · Tin Layer Coating

Pure Brass · Eeyam / Kalai Lining · Three Sizes

This heavy-gauge, pure brass serving bowl is styled after the traditional South Indian Urli and features a beautifully fitted brass lid with a solid top knob. Crafted with no compromise in material thickness, it comes with a high-mirror golden polish on the outside to bring an authentic heritage look to your dining table or pooja room.

Crucially, the interior of the bowl is lined with a traditional, thick tin layer coating (Eeyam/Kalai). According to centuries of culinary practice, raw brass reacts naturally with sour ingredients, curds, or citric juices. This food-safe tin lining provides a complete protective barrier, making it perfectly safe for storing and serving hot rice, payasam, festival prasadham, sambar, and traditional sweets without any chemical reaction or alteration in taste. This functional, heirloom-quality cookware item is excellent for daily household kitchen use, offering spiritual purity during festival feasts and absolute durability for generations.

Tradition Outside · Thoughtful Care Within

“At Sri Swaminathan & Co, Since 1973, the beauty of brass is only part of the story. The traditional tin lining places a layer between the food and the brass beneath, reminding us that the care inside a vessel matters as much as the heritage it brings to the table.”

The benefit of a continuous, intact tin lining is that it separates food from direct contact with the brass beneath. This is a lined brass vessel, not a solid tin vessel. The lining needs care and may need renewing with use; if it wears through and exposes brass, stop using it for food until it has been professionally re-tinned. Follow the maker’s guidance on suitable foods, serving time, cleaning, and whether heating is permitted. 

When you buy from Sri Swaminathan & Co, you are buying directly from a 53-year family legacy in Kumbakonam (since 1973). We never compromise on metal thickness or weight density. Every vessel is lined with genuine, heavy-gauge tin layer coating applied by skilled local craftspeople who carry forward generations of metal-working knowledge

Key Features
  • Traditional Tin Coating (Kalai) — The inside is fully lined with a heavy, food-safe tin layer coating, allowing you to safely store and serve all types of hot, acidic, or sour food items.
  • Heavy-Gauge Pure Brass — Forged from thick, super fine quality brass that provides a high weight density, meaning the bowl will not dent, chip, or warp under everyday heat.
  • Secure Fitted Brass Lid — Comes with a matching brass cover fitted with a sturdy structural top knob to keep your prasadham or rice warm and protected.
  • Versatile Heritage Aesthetic — Features a high-gloss golden finish that blends naturally into festival setups, traditional pooja food offerings, or elegant modern dinner tables.

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.
