Panchpatra – Sacred Vessel for Puja & Ritual Ceremonies

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

Panchpatra is a traditional religious vessel, usually made of brass, copper, or steel, used during Hindu puja, temples, havan, weddings, festivals, and daily worship. It is commonly paired with a small spoon called Achmani and is used to hold holy water (Gangajal), panchamrit, or other sacred liquids during rituals.

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

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

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