Brass Traditional Kerala Kindi Vesselis a holy vessel, traditionally used during hindu worship rituals as a means to dispense holy water without allowing the users hands to dirty the water as it is being poured out. The kindi is also used among hospitable kerala homes to greet guests and allow them a chance to wash their hands and feet before entering the main courtyard of the home they are visiting, or for them to wash their hands after a meal. The kindi is also one of the set of vessels, traditionally given to new brides.
