Handmade Himalayan Damaru (Double Chalice) Bowl
A rare and powerful fusion of sound, symbolism, and sacred design, the Damaru Bowl is more than an instrument, it is a reflection of rhythm, balance, and creation itself.
Inspired by the ancient Damaru drum, traditionally associated with Lord Shiva, this bowl carries deep spiritual significance. In many traditions, the sound of the damaru is believed to represent the primordial vibration of the universe—“Om,” the sound from which all creation emerges.
It symbolizes duality, creation and dissolution, sound and silence, movement and stillness, held together in perfect harmony.
This unique piece brings that symbolism into physical form through a double-bowl (double chalice) design, where two hand-hammered bowls are carefully joined together. Each side is tuned to a complementary note, creating a rich, layered resonance when played. The result is a harmonic interplay of sound, two tones meeting, blending, and expanding into something greater than either alone.
Handcrafted in Nepal using traditional techniques, each bowl is shaped through a meticulous hammering process that gives it its organic texture and assembled in Boulder CO with care give it a unique and distinct tonal character. No two Damaru Bowls are ever exactly alike, each one carries its own vibration, its own voice, its own story shaped through the hands of the artisan. 2 bowls with 2 different notes carefully chosen by our sound experts for the best resonant and harmonic quality of sound. The benefits of combining two bowls like this is that it is a convenient way to introduce two notes that harmonize with each other during a sound healing session.
When played, the Damaru Bowl produces a deep, immersive sound experience. The dual tones create a sense of movement, almost like a conversation within the sound itself, making it especially powerful for meditation, sound healing, and ritual practice. Singing bowls produce sound through vibration, allowing tones to be both heard and physically felt, creating a deeply grounding and expansive effect.
The handle connecting the two bowls adds both functionality and symbolism, bridging two energies into one continuous flow. It allows the bowl to be held, moved, and experienced in a dynamic way, enhancing its presence in both personal and group practices.
