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.
