Kalash – Sacred Pot for Puja & Religious Rituals

A Kalash is a sacred vessel widely used in Hindu rituals, पूजा ceremonies, weddings, housewarming (griha pravesh), and festivals. It is typically filled with water, topped with mango leaves and a coconut, symbolizing prosperity, purity, and divine presence.

As a non-electric, physical religious utensil used in households and temples, a Kalash is correctly classified under Trademark Class 21 of the NICE Classification.

#⚖️ Why Kalash Falls Under Class 21

Trademark Class 21 covers:

• Household utensils and containers

• Religious and ceremonial articles

• Non-electric vessels made of metal, glass, or ceramic

Since a Kalash is:

• A container/vessel used in rituals

• A non-consumable physical item

• Commonly made from brass, copper, silver, or clay

👉 It clearly falls under Class 21
