☛ Bhumba: What is Bhumpa
The Bhumpa, or Ritual Vase, is an important ceremonial item used for holding holy water that has been blessed by the Guru. The holy water is believed to remove negativity and to chase away evil spirits, and it is sprinkled or poured to purify persons, places, or objects. Bhumpas are widely used by Gurus in many types of ceremonies, from elaborate purification rituals for new houses, monuments, and holy sites, to simple blessings for disciples meant to purify and protect them from harmful forces. Bhumpas may also be used by practitioners to make water offerings; in such cases, the water is regarded as pure nectar.cc

☛ Partly Gold plating.
This Bhumba has a Partly gold-plated finish. Partly fire gold gilding, a common practice in Nepali handicrafts. This technique is skillfully employed by artisans to create intricate designs on various metal objects, including statues, jewelry, and decorative items. Through a process, a mask or resist is applied to safeguard specific areas from the gold plating. The object is then subjected to high temperatures, allowing the gold to beautifully adhere to exposed surfaces using a combination of heat and pressure.
In the realm of Buddhist statues, this technique holds additional significance as it distinguishes the golden-plated body from the oxidized or maroon-painted clothing. This visual separation conveys the contrast between the divine purity of the body and the modest attire symbolizing the humble lifestyle of Buddhist monks. The partly fire gold gilding not only adds exquisite detail and elegance but also embodies the deep cultural and spiritual meaning associated with these treasured artifacts.
