Introduction of Kapala

The Kapala set includes a skull cup and a plate. The skull cup, known as Kapala in Sanskrit, is crafted from the oval upper section of a human cranium. It serves as a libation vessel for numerous Vajrayana deities, primarily wrathful ones. As a ritual implement, selecting the correct skull is crucial for the efficacy of the rite. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Kapala or Skull Bowl is utilized ritually in several ways. For instance, a Lama might use it as an offering bowl on an altar, filling it with wine or butter as a gift to the Yidam Deity or all the Deities within the Mandala. During certain Tantric practices, the Kapala is employed as a Torma offering container, typically filled with a Torma made from barley flour and decorated with various symbolic designs. Additionally, the Kapala finds application in Feng Shui practice.
