Kalash – Sacred Vessel for Puja, Festivals & Religious Ceremonies

Trademark Class 21 under the NICE Classification covers household utensils, containers, metal articles, glassware, earthenware, and religious-use vessels and accessories.

Kalash is a sacred religious vessel, traditionally made of copper, brass, silver, steel, or clay, used in Hindu puja, temples, weddings, griha pravesh, navratri, havan, and major religious ceremonies. It is typically filled with holy water (Gangajal), mango leaves, and a coconut, symbolizing prosperity, purity, and divine blessings.

Since Kalash is a physical religious utensil (non-consumable vessel), it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 21.

If your business manufactures or sells Kalash for religious or ceremonial purposes, your brand must be registered under Class 21 to ensure trademark protection.

This class is essential for puja samagri brands, brassware manufacturers, temple suppliers, religious utensil makers, and spiritual homeware companies.
