The craftmanship of all the pottery is fantastic!
That Devil Mask is scary!!

I love your Indian mud post they are beautiful. What a wonderful blog.
Blessings,

Thank you for showing these delightful Indian Mud Pots. I think I totally fell in love with them all. One question, though, on the photo where you say the pot is for "burning the cotton wet with coco milk". Is this for ritual? Or just to have a nice scent in the air?
these are awesome pictures, bharat! ~~~i'm over here because you honored me with a visit! now i am one blogsite wiser! i will link yours to mine!
Interesting "body scrubbers" I am not sure I would like to try them on me!!

Such beautiful pots. I am in awe, not only for their beauty, but for their uses. Thank you for your enlightenment. Love and Light, Nina P
I am returning your welcome visit to my blog and am so glad to have found you.
I have checked out several of your past posts and find them facinating and very informative about a culture I know so little about.
I will be back to learn more. Thank you for your kind comments.

I was blessed to visit India twelve years ago and am making what will probably be my final visit in November, for 23 days. I have so many wonderful friends, crew members who work for Royal Caribbean - so I will not need hotels this time around. Your country, its people and culture, the food, and films, festivals - are all so wonderful...and I am delighted I came upon your beautiful blog!!! Your work is spectacular and like a visit to your country.
Very interesting pots of different shapes and colors. Nice shots!
This is really cool. I like how you've taken these vessals for everyday use and shared it with us.
Thanks for stopping by with the B.Day wishes too! Hope you have a great day-
I may have to get one of those Devil Masks!
Raj: That was a nice job in capturing all the clay workings.

You have a very nice blog. I enjoyed scrolling down thru your post. Thanks for visiting mine and leaving your sweet comments.
आपकी टिपण्णी के लिए बहुत बहुत शुक्रिया! मुझे तो इस बात पर आश्चर्य लग रहा है आखिर मुझ पर ऐसा घिनौना इल्ज़ाम क्यूँ लगाया गया? मैं भला अपना नाम बदलकर किसी और नाम से क्यूँ टिपण्णी देने लगूं? खैर जब मैंने कुछ ग़लत किया ही नहीं तो फिर इस बारे में और बात न ही करूँ तो बेहतर है! आप लोगों का प्यार, विश्वास और आशीर्वाद सदा बना रहे यही चाहती हूँ!
Wonderful post with beautiful description and marvellous photos of various types of pots. Its very interesting to know so many different types of things of our country and I appreciate for all your lovely and informative posts.
Those body scrubbers look really heavy!
So many interesting pots...I like the idea of a mask at the doorway for protection.
Hi!

These are wonderful. I love the various pots. Clay helps give the earthy feel to a home.
Oh I always look forward to one of your new posts; the photos are so rich. One day, when I have lots of spare change, I will take one of your tours.
Did you see them throw the pots, I wonder. It fascinating to see something come out of nothing.
simply fascinating!
How I wish I could be there and see them for myself!
Yeah, the water pots are very cool. I used to drink water from that kind. Thanks for the visit.
Hello Bharat! It's funny the power of the mask at the entrance to the pots porta.Quanto beautiful in its forms and traditions, I admire the clay, and is to carry the water purity of life better.
Thank you for visiting the blog and let peace and friendship Lisa
Thanks for an interesting article and great photos to illustrate.
Wow, what beautiful pottery.
Hi. I wandered into your blog from elsewhere (but I've lost track of where I was!). I'm really glad I found you though because it was a trip down memory lane for me!
23 years ago I spent a year travelling round Asia in a Land Rover and we spent a lot of time in Rajasthan. In fact, we went to every place in your blog posts so it was lovely to see them again and have all those memories come flooding back :)
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed learning about the pots and various things they can be used for. The devil mask is interesting. In the US we have different charms and things that people feel bring luck or ward off bad luck from their homes. I have a horse shoe above my door to bring good luck;)
Marnie
Thanks for visiting.
The pottery had so many different shapes yet some wouldn't have been out of place 100s of years ago as their function is still the same. Lovely thank you.
What a fascinating post. Again, I learn so much from you. The mask is beautiful (well, sort of) - can't imagine it keeps out evil spirits, but maybe if you really believe...
And the pots...what a delightful conglomeration.
Thanks for sharing!
hi my new fren!!
thanks for your visit to my blog..
wow..
those pots are so interesting!!
only today i know that they had so many uses!!
thanks for introducing the pots!!
those are good clay pots
i invite you to visit jif photojournal, my main blog http://jifphotojournal.blogspot.com/
What wonderful posts. I hope they continue to use them in your area. I understand that some places have switched to plastic and that has now become an environmental problem
My husband travels for business and I collect masks from all over the world. It just dawned on me, I don't have one from India. Thanks for sharing it's always a treat to visit your blog!
Funny mask :))))))
Great art post !!
Grateful for the visit, very much like your blog, my husband is Goan, natural Riband - Goa.
Kisses,
Ana Martins
Neat! With modern packaging, we forgot just how ubiquitous (and practical. and sustainable.) good old clay was.
Thanks for dropping by my art blog. I like your new post. Collecting different pots was one of my hobbies before. I passed my collections for others to enjoy.
Beautiful photographic report of that magnificent artye of the ceramic. Congratulations .
Interesting photos. They look very practical, as well as nicely hand crafted.
Nice artwork!
Thanks for your visit.
For body scrubbing? OUCH!
I would go maaaaad! I'd love to get some of these vases!
Suas imagens são muito bonitos, e o mais bonito é que estes artefatos tem sua história.
Um abraço,bom final de semana

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. This post is interesting.
Thanks for stopping by to visit me. I'm resting up after my surgery.
Your photos are very interesting!!
Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog.
The pots are amazing. I have to say that the body scrubbers look a little intimidating.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Barb
beautiful workmanship. thanks for the visit
good weekend!
As arteiras
Hi Bharat:)
Lovely display of Indian pots. Very informative narration.
Have a nice day:)
Joseph
Interesting and fantastic objects! My daughter has a similar mask. Brought from India.Congratulations your posts are beautiful!
I just adore them, and I love the music!
With more than 100 comments, one may only imagen the 'power' pots do have of bringing people and their thoughts together - leaving us many times being clay, which is formed with hands of a higher power.
A nice formed new week for you!
I really enjoyed reading about the different uses for those beautiful pots. Fascinating.
At first I thought the mask looks so fearful it is no surprise evil spirits will not want to pass by it. Then, I decided it looks quite interesting rather than scary. Lovely colours.
What a really good idea to show all these pots and tell of their uses. Someone once gave me an unglazed beaker she had brought back from an Indian train. Other people were breaking theirs so they could be made into new ones. I treasured mine until it fell into dust.
I don't usually like music on blogs - but this is an exception. When I lived in London, I used to borrow Indian and Bengali music from the library van when it came round - listening to the music here made me feel nostalgic for life past.

Objects very interesting!

Oh wow, what lovely items! Would love to own one of those stubby pots -very artsy!
Thank´s for the comment!

That's an awful lot of pots for an Indian home.

Je trouve les body scrubers absolument terrifiants ! ouille ouille ouille !
ces terres cuites sont magnifiques !
wonderful pictorial collection!
Very interesting! Its amazing what a variety of terracotta items are made in Rajasthan.
I was a bit surprised though, to see that you use coconut oil in the diyas / deepak. Was it the same in olden days too?
