A handcrafted brass, copper and wood pendant light from Studio Saswata's Kalash series — inspired by the sacred Shikara spires of Hindu temple architecture. 9 inches diameter x 15 inches height. Hang individually or in clusters. Dispatch in 12 to 15 days.
The Shikara is the spire that crowns every Hindu temple — that rising, tapering form whose mathematical precision encodes centuries of Vedic cosmology. Scholars trace its shape to Mount Meru, the cosmic axis of the universe in Indian mythology. The Kalash pendant series by Studio Saswata draws from that tradition and brings it into the home as a lighting object of genuine architectural presence.
Kalash 1 is crafted in brass and wood with copper accents — three materials that carry their own distinct warmth and that work together in the Kalash form the way the sacred and the earthly have always worked in Indian temple craft. The proportions are precise and the symbolism is real — this is not a lamp that references Indian heritage decoratively but one that carries it structurally, in the geometry of the form itself. Hang it alone above a dining table or reading chair where the Shikara silhouette commands the space it occupies. Group three or five at different heights for a lighting installation that transforms an entrance or a double-height living room into something genuinely extraordinary. Available exclusively on Tooffi, India's marketplace for independent makers who find India's deepest design traditions and translate them into objects worthy of a contemporary home.
