Introduction to Manipuri Singing Bowls
The Manipuri Singing Bowl originates from northeastern India and is primarily used for relaxation, meditation, and offering rituals. These bowls have a low-profile, gently rounded base, and can be either thick or thin, smooth or intricately decorated. Their softly spread rim contributes to their unique, soothing tones.
Historically, Manipuri bowls were treasured as valuable gifts, symbolizing love, devotion, and gratitude—much like gold and silver in ancient times.

Hand-Beaten Singing Bowl Craftsmanship
Creating a handmade bronze singing bowl is a time-honored tradition involving multiple stages:
1️⃣ Metal Alloy Creation – A blend of copper and tin is melted to form a resonant alloy.
2️⃣ Molding & Shaping – The molten metal is poured into a mold and shaped into a bowl.
3️⃣ Hand-Hammering – Expert artisans refine the shape and thickness through precise hammering, ensuring an optimal sound balance.
4️⃣ Polishing & Detailing – The bowl is polished and may feature intricate Buddhist or Hindu engravings.
