💨 Abstract

The kamandalu is a traditional water vessel used by Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist ascetics in South Asia. It is typically shaped like a globular or ovoid pot, made from materials like clay, wood, brass, and copper. Oldest known examples date back to the 4th century BCE in Taxila, Pakistan, and Saheth-Maheth, Bhita, and Sanchi, India.
