The vessel is called Uruli, once used extensively in the households in Kerala for cooking on the wood fire. Later with the advent of gas and electric stoves, the use of uruli in the kitchen diminished. And now they have re-emerged in living rooms as decorative bowls, filled with flowers floating on water.

Here’s wishing such happy transformations and progress in all our lives in keeping with the changes around us !! Happy new year !!
