Devotees fill the Kalash with holy water and place a coconut on top of it during Pujas. Some might fill the vessel with coins, gems, gold, or grains as well. There are several stories associated with the origin of Kalash.

It was during the churning of the ocean or Samudra Manthan between the Asuras and Devas, that the Amrita – the Nectar of Immortality emerged out in a Kalash –– the symbol of immortality as it (Kalash) contained Amrita.

It is believed that Kalash is the embodiment of all the gods. It can create subtle vibrations, which can purify and enhance our vitalities. Hindu deities Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, and Goddess Lakshmi, hold a Kalash in their hands.It is also believed that Kalash is the personification of Lord Ganesha –– remover of obstacles from our lives, and Gauri Devi personified as goddess of household bounty.
