The Chand uruli box consist of 3 main sections, the uruli bowl, the concave copper dish and the stone dish, each playing a part in defining the chand series. We begin with the uruli bowl, a traditional vessel typically used for offerings to God, adorning the exquisite bowl is a sleek, concave copper dish that serves as lid that elevates the uruli’s versatility. When the dish glides open along the uruli’s curvature, it elegantly mirrors the moon's phases, adding a poetic touch to the design. This sophisticated interplay of form and function creates a luxurious container for treasured heirlooms or personal artefacts, embodying both utility and opulence.
Enhancing its celestial theme, the Chand uruli is complemented by a hand-crafted granite or marble dish, adding an element of natural elegance to the ensemble. The juxtaposition of polished copper and finely carved stone creates a harmonious balance, making it a centrepiece that captivates and enchants.
The positioning of the stone dish allows for two main dispositions of the piece, when placed below representing the poornachandra or the full moon accentuating the glaborous skin of the copper bowl and, dish against the cold sensual touch of the dish, and the other where the dish is placed in between the bowl and the dish, representing the Grahanam, the eclipse, where the precise shine of the copper dish distinctively arcs around the stone dish, tempering it luminosity.
This uruli bowl comes in the polish striations, where the hand of the master craftsman skilfully bends the copperware producing defined polished ridges accentuating the curvature of the piece, thus delivery a more contemporary feel.
Each copper concave dish, which acts like as a lid for the box, is hand spun, and has the indelible "artisans signature", a remanent of their work and knowledge, making no two pieces the same.
This hand-carved dish is meticulously crafted from the prestigious Black Granite, renowned for its profound depth and striking black green veining. The Stone revered as symbol of immortality is where most of ancient India temples and idols sculptures are fashioned from. This stone stands resolute against the change of time and season. Sourced from the ancient town of Mahabalipuram, known for its rich heritage in stone carving, this Granite holds a revered place in the annals of art and architecture. This granite, with its dark, enigmatic allure interspersed with subtle green streaks, symbolises the profound connection between earth and craftsmanship. The stone’s robust and enduring nature mirrors the time-honoured traditions of Mahabalipuram’s artisans, who have been sculpting masterpieces for centuries.
This hand-carved stone dish is meticulously shaped to feature a round, concave form, enhanced by two elegantly carved grooves on the top and one on the bottom that allows the uruli box or the dish to sit in any of its dispositions embodying both functionality and aesthetic grace.

This uruli is not merely a decor piece; it is a tribute to the moon’s influence on time, rituals, and spirituality. Every curve and contour reflect a dedication to high design, making it a timeless addition to any refined space.
Note: Since each piece is handmade, be it annealing the copper sheets or selecting the stone section and the chiselling work, each is unique and is dependent on the artists hand and perception, the product images reflect a single piece by an artist, do expect variations in the overall finished work. less
