The brass urli is a timeless decorative vessel from South India, especially associated with Kerala homes and temples. Traditionally used for cooking and Ayurvedic preparations, the urli today is celebrated as a powerful décor element symbolizing prosperity, calmness, and welcoming energy.
Filled with water, flower petals, floating candles, or decorative elements, a brass urli instantly transforms entrances, living rooms, and prayer areas into serene, festive spaces. The much more common materials used to create urlis include brass, copper, and earthenware, but they can also be constructed of steel, aluminum, rock, and ceramics.
Urlis were primarily used in dining, and in Kerala, a massive urli also was alluded to as the "varpu." Because the structure of the container spreads heat evenly and maintains aromas, slow cooking is facilitated. Among the dishes which are commonly cooked in urlis are payasam and ghee rice, and they are still used today during celebratory occasions. Because of the same reasons noted down previously, urlis are utilized in the production of Ayurvedic medicines in addition to cooking food.
Water-filled urlis are a familiar occurrence, and in accordance with Vastu Shastra, it is believed to have significant benefits. Water symbolizes the money that is flowing in your direction and is considered to be soothing. Due to this, many Indian households have a urli, a container stocked with water and additional items like flowers, in the entrance area.
The entrance is among the most well-liked sites for an Urli since it embraces visitors when they arrive. Furthermore, it seems to emanate a feeling of affluence and fortune to anyone who enters. If the urli is enormous, you can place it either onto a stand or directly on the ground. You can decorate an urli with pretty flowers. Another choice is crisped flowers or incense, which are wonderful ways to add perfume.
While blossoms and petals drifting aimlessly in the urli are appealing all on their own, you can take it up a notch and use them to create a design to create your very own urli rangoli. Candles are unquestionably the second-best option to embellish your urli following flowers. Installing an ancient idol within your old urli is probably one of the easiest methods for decorating it.
The uruli would function as the idol's gorgeous base, whereas the idol will give it a little more elevation and dimension. Most children who were born in Kerala are acquainted with manjadi seeds. These vivid red seeds can be employed to fill small urli because their hue will stand out wonderfully alongside polished metal.
The urli can be covered with mosses and left as is, or a small metal lighting can be installed within it. It's simple to accomplish this for daily decoration. Any interior plant of your preference can be transplanted with urli, while they also function really well as hangers for houseplants. Moss can also be employed to conceal the vacant lot.
