These are standing urlis — the shallow Indian water bowl raised onto a stem — and the bowls are pierced right through with a lotus and leaf pattern. Put a tealight in one after dark and the cutouts throw the pattern onto the wall behind. Three heights, 13.5 to 17.5 inches, the tallest set we make.

Why this one

  • It projects light. This is the only one of our four lotus sets where the pattern is cut clean through the bowl. Lit from inside, the piercing becomes a shadow pattern on the surrounding surfaces.
  • The tallest set of the four. 13.5, 15.5 and 17.5 inches. On a console or beside a doorway they hold their own against furniture.
  • Painted leaf detailing on the outside of the bowl, below the cutouts — visible when you look at the piece from the side rather than from above.
  • Consistent 8.5-inch bowls. All three are the same diameter, so the set steps up in height cleanly.
  • Approximately 1.5 kg for all three — about 3.3 lb / 53 oz — on weighted domed bases.

Which of the four lotus urli sets is this?

We make four sets that look similar in a thumbnail and are quite different in a room. Two things separate them: whether the bowl is pierced with cutouts or hammered, and whether it sits low or stands on a stem.

  • Cutout, sitting — Pierced lotus cutouts, short foot, 4.5–7 in tall
  • Hammered, sitting — Hammered dimpled surface, short foot, 5.5–8 in tall
  • Hammered, standing — Hammered bowls on tall slim stems, 12.5–16 in tall
  • Cutout, standing — this set. Pierced lotus cutouts on tall stems, 13.5–17.5 in tall

Where it works

Entryway, flanking the door — the classic use, and the one where the projected light matters most. Console or sideboard in a group of three. Mandap, stage and reception tables. Outdoor evening functions on a covered patio, where the cutouts read against a wall or fence. Pooja room during Diwali, Navratri and Ganesh Chaturthi.

Gifting

The set people buy when the gift needs to make an impression on arrival — griha pravesh, a milestone anniversary, a wedding. Also a straightforward Diwali gift for someone who already owns the usual decor.

These go out as gift sets often enough that we keep stock deep. If you need several — wedding favours, a Diwali order for a team, return gifts for a large function — email contact@urliutsav.com before you order. Bulk pricing is available and we will confirm quantities and timing with you first.

Frequently asked questions

Does the light really show through?
Yes, when it is dark enough. The cutouts run around the bowl sidewall, so a tealight inside casts the lotus pattern outward. In a bright room you will just see the piercing as detail.
Can I still put water in a pierced bowl?
Yes. The cutouts sit above the water line. Keep the water shallow, an inch or so, and it will not reach them.
How tall is too tall for a dining table?
At 13.5 inches and up, the smallest of these still sits above seated eye level. For a table you eat at, the sitting sets are the better choice; these belong on a console, a floor corner or an event table.
Are the stands removable?
No. Each piece is assembled as one — bowl, stem and base together.
What is the painted detail made of?
It is applied over the gold finish on the outer wall of the bowl. Wipe it gently and avoid scrubbing that area.
How do I clean them?
Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Do not soak them, do not put them in a dishwasher, and dry them fully after you empty the water out. The gold is a polished coating over iron, not solid metal, so abrasive scourers and harsh cleaners will wear it.
Can I put water in them?
Yes — that is what they are for. Fill, float, then empty and dry the same evening rather than leaving water standing for days.
Can they go outside?
For an evening on a covered patio, yes. Not for permanent outdoor use: they are iron underneath and will rust if they are rained on or left damp.
What if something arrives damaged?
Shipping is insured. Send a photo to contact@urliutsav.com and we will replace the piece or make it right.
Can I return them?
Yes, within 30 days in original condition and packaging. Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer.
