About Our Ritual Item:
The Flower and Torma Offering Set is a wonderfully created spiritual ensemble full of meaning and delicate design. This hand-carved set has an oxidized copper body decorated with electro-gold plating for a beautiful look. The use of genuine stones like coral and turquoise provides bright highlights, improving both its aesthetic and spiritual importance. The set consists of two components: the Torma, which is 20.5 cm tall, 9 cm wide, and weighs 0.280 kg, and the floral element, which is 21 cm tall, 14 cm wide, and weighs 0.22 kg. Their combined weight is 0.504 kg.
With its pyramid-like form, the Torma is an essential emblem in Tibetan ceremonies, representing sacrifices to deities. It is elaborately ornate, with symbolic motifs and stone accents demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship. The accompanying floral piece is ornately designed with an attractive arrangement of leaves, flower patterns, and coral and turquoise stones. These harmonic connections make the set suitable for altar decorations, religious events, or a considerate gift for individuals who practice spirituality. The solid build and exquisite craftsmanship make this set a timeless ornamental piece.
Introduction to Tormas
Tormas are made of barley flour and decorated with butter buttons. Metals such as copper, silver, and gold, on the other hand, are used. Metal-based tormas have the advantage of being more durable than perishable food tormas. A metal torma can be used for a variety of purposes, including symbolic weapons in repulsion rituals. Tormas are also frequently depicted in paintings that hang on the walls of temples dedicated to the wrathful deities. Torma offerings are typically used to appease ferocious Dharmapala such as the Mahakala and Shri Devi.
