At Temple Sounds we work with individuals all over the Himalayas to ethically source the best new handmade & antique singing bowls. A beautiful genuine antique handmade Manipuri type lingam singing bowl ethically sourced from India. Shiva lingam singing bowls are characterised by a lingam placed at the centre of the inner bowl. Traditionally lingam bowls are used for ritual & ceremonial use including marriage. The bowls are quite heavy, substantial & have very thick, smooth walls. The rims are extended inwards towards the bowl giving a triangular ‘male’ rim. The decoration is minimal, with only a few concentric circles at the foot of the lingam & outer walls of the rims.
