Kamandal Details : This Kamandalu (Sanskrit) or Kamandal or Kamandalam is an oblong water pot made of Brass.

Kamandalu (Sanskrit) or Kamandal or Kamandalam is an oblong water pot made of a dry gourd (pumpkin) or coconut shell, metal, wood of the Kamandalataru tree or from clay, usually with a handle and sometimes with a spout. Hindu ascetics or yogis often use it for storing drinking water. The water-filled kamandalu, which is invariably carried by ascetics, is stated to represent a simple and self-contained life.

As per the vedantic philosophy, the universe is made up of matter, matter is made up of energy and energy is made up of vibrations. Water acts as a great medium that is capable of absorbing vibrations of all kind. When a yogi sits in meditation, his viberations rise to a higher spiritual level and same is absorbed by the water in the kamandal which gets charged with good positive vibes. This water can then be used for spiritual healing.

• Buddhists pour water from the kamandalu onto the palms of people, before rituals, where the water symbolizes elixir of life.
• The text Garuda Purana states donation of a kamandalu in the Shradha (funery ritual) ceremony ensures that deceased has ample drinking water in his afterlife journey.
