Himalayan Singing Bowls

The Art of Making the Singing Bowls

The art of making these authentic, Himalayan Singing Bowls dates back many centuries, and has been part of the shamanic Bon and the Buddhist tradition for hundreds of years. The traditional art of making them is called Astha Dhatu, where eight different metals—including tin, copper, gold, and bronze—are forged into shape with simple tools and sacred intention. Using a secret formula, each bowl is heated in the fire and hammered into shape, over and over, until the perfect shape is achieved.
