From the first night of Navratri to the last lamp of Diwali week, October and November in India are filled with celebrations. The names and traditions may change from one city to another — Garba nights in Ahmedabad, Durga Puja in Kolkata, Ramlila in Delhi, Golu in Chennai, Chhath in Patna — but the feeling remains the same.

Homes are cleaned, corners are dressed, flowers are brought in, diyas are lit, and something beautiful is placed at the heart of it all.

For generations, the urli has been part of that tradition. A wide, shallow vessel once used to hold water and flowers, it has naturally found its place in festive homes as a beautiful symbol of welcome, abundance and auspiciousness.

And that is what makes it perfect for every festival.

Not because it belongs to one occasion, but because every celebration calls for a beautiful corner.

Choose by Colour, Not by Occasion

Our urlis each carry a distinctive artwork, but they come together in three collection to choose from. Instead of choosing one for a particular festival, choose the palette that feels right for your home — or the home you are gifting it to.

Jewel Tones

Deep blue, emerald and peacock hues for homes with rich colours, dark wood or bold accents. These are statement pieces for a festive corner that deserves to stand out.

•     Pichwai Elephant Urli, Blue

A deep, jewel-toned Pichwai scene set on three brass elephant feet. Rich, detailed and made to become the focal point of a room.

•     Kamadhenu Nature's Grace Urli

A forest-green backdrop featuring Kamadhenu and a banana plant, bringing together traditional symbolism and a rich, natural palette.

•     Peacock Mandala Metal Urli

A vibrant mandala in blue, red and green with a peacock in full plume — the most colourful expression in the collection.

Marigold & Gold

Mustard, saffron, amber and maroon — inspired by marigold garlands, festive textiles and the warm glow of diyas. Easy to style and naturally festive.

•     Pichwai Elephant Urli, Sunlit

A warm, mustard-toned Pichwai design resting on elephant feet. A versatile choice that works beautifully across different interiors.

 

•     Kamdhenu Tree of Life Decorative Urli

A marigold-orange backdrop with a blooming tree above Kamadhenu and her calf, bringing a sense of abundance and auspiciousness.

 

•     Kamadhenu Pichwai Decorative Metal Urli

Bright mustard tones and lotus blooms frame Kamadhenu in a traditional Pichwai-inspired composition.

 

•     Kamdhenu Palm Grove Heritage Urli

Deep maroon and amber tones with a single palm rising behind the cow. An heirloom-inspired piece with an unmistakably festive presence.

 Soft & Ivory

Blush pink and ivory for homes that lean towards light, minimal or pastel interiors. Quiet, elegant and festive without being loud.

•     Pichwai Elephant Urli, Rose

Palm trees against a soft pink backdrop make this the gentlest of the Pichwai Elephant trio.

 

•     Peacock Pichwai Elephant-Footed Decorative Urli

An ivory ground, detailed Pichwai artwork and brass elephant feet come together in a piece that feels refined and timeless.

 

•     Gajanand Pichwai Art Elephant-Footed Decorative Urli

A richly detailed mandala framed around a Gajanand artwork, bringing together sophistication and timeless detailing.

One Urli. Many Festive Moments.

The beauty of an urli is that you don't need a different piece for every celebration. Change what you place inside it, and the same urli takes on a completely different character.

For Navratri and Durga Puja. Fill it with water and floating marigolds, hibiscus or rose petals. Add a diya for a warm festive glow and place it near your puja space or a decorated corner.

For Dussehra. Bring the festive feeling to your entrance with fresh flowers or marigold petals. Pair the urli with diyas and a traditional toran to create a welcoming entryway.

For Karwa Chauth. Use it as a beautiful festive thali. Place roli, chawal, a diya, flowers and sweets together for a thoughtful and elegant ritual arrangement.

For Dhanteras. As homes welcome new metal and brass pieces on Dhanteras, an urli makes a meaningful addition. Fill it with flowers and light a diya to give it a festive, auspicious setting.

Diwali and Lakshmi Puja. Fill it with water and floating flowers, and add tea-light candles for a beautiful, warm glow. Place it beside the rangoli, at the entrance or in the centre of your dining table.

You can also use it to hold flowers, diyas, prasad or other puja essentials. Or simply leave it as it is — a beautifully crafted statement piece that adds richness to the festive setting.

For Bhai Dooj & the days after Diwali

Use it as a tilak thali with roli, chawal, flowers and mithai. Once the rituals are over, let it continue as part of your home — holding fruit, flowers, candles or simply adding beauty to a shelf or console.

Decorate It. Use It. Or Simply Let It Shine.

An urli does not always need to be filled.

Place it on a console, centre table or shelf as a standalone statement tray. Let its artwork, colours, and handcrafted details do the work.

When you want to dress it up, fill it with water and flowers for a traditional festive centrepiece.

When you want warmth, add tea-light candles and watch the light reflect across the water.

When it is time for puja, use it for flowers, prasad, roli, chawal or other festive essentials.

One piece. So many ways to celebrate.

Gifting: Choose Something that Becomes Part of their Home

Our urli holds flowers for one evening, mithai for one festival, a thali for one ritual. Then it goes on holding fruit, keys, candles, or simply stands on a shelf where it was placed. That is why the choice never needs an occasion.

The best festive pieces don’t just mark an occasion. They become part of someone’s home.

Send it filled. A bare urli is a beautiful object. A filled one is already a gift. Tuck in tea-light diyas and a few dried petals, or arrange mithai and dry fruits in it, so it arrives ready for the celebration.

Gifting in numbers. For family, clients or a whole team, write to us about bulk orders.
