Yajna Puja Set

A “Yajna Puja Set” refers to a collection of sacred tools and items used during a yajna or puja (Hindu religious rituals) to make offerings to the deities through the fire, known as the “sacred fire” or Agni. A yajna is a Vedic ritual performed to invoke divine blessings, seek prosperity, and cleanse the soul through sacred chants and offerings. A typical Yajna Puja set includes a variety of tools used for fire sacrifices, prayers, and other ceremonial activities.

In the context of Budhusit Yagya (Buddhist Yajna) or tools specific to it, the items can be a blend of Hindu and Buddhist practices, as fire rituals have significance in both traditions.

A Yajna Puja Set usually includes:

1. Havan Kund: A sacred vessel or fire pit where the fire sacrifice is conducted.
2. Spoon and Ladle (Ajya Patra): Used to pour ghee, oils, or sacred offerings into the fire.
3. Samidha: Sticks of wood (such as mango or sandalwood) to keep the fire alive.
4. Ghee (Clarified Butter): An essential offering in the fire, believed to strengthen spiritual power and devotion.
5. Rice, Grains, and Herbs: Offered into the fire as symbols of nourishment and abundance.
6. Incense Sticks and Camphor: Used to purify the space and create an atmosphere conducive to meditation and prayer.
7. Sacred Threads or Garlands: Used to decorate the yajna area and participants.
8. Water and Kalasha (Pot): For purifying the hands and offering water to the deities.
9. Bell: Rung during specific times of the yajna to invoke divine attention.
10. Chanting Scriptures or Texts: Mantras are recited from sacred texts like the Vedas or Buddhist sutras.

In the Buddhist Yajna (Budhusit Yagya), the tools may include additional elements such as Buddhist prayer flags, butter lamps, mandalas, and ritual vajras (thunderbolt symbols) to align with Buddhist cosmology and symbolism.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
