Originating from ancient monastic customs, \"Serkyem\" translates to “golden drink,” symbolizing the offering of precious liquids such as tea, alcohol, or milk in a two-piece vessel, often made of brass or copper. The upper bowl overflows into the lower, representing abundance and the devotee’s willingness to give without hesitation. Legend tells of a great Tibetan master who, during a perilous journey through the Himalayas, offered his only tea in a Serkyem to Mahakala for protection and miraculously, a storm cleared, guiding him safely to his monastery. This practice endures as a powerful gesture of devotion and gratitude in both personal and monastic rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nidhiratna ","offers":[{"title":"15.5cm X 13.5cm \/ 0.44kg","offer_id":51784454635766,"sku":"918 RSOCG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/serkyem-offering-bowl-handcrafted-by-newari-artisan-from-patan-nepal-with-gold-and-silver-plating.jpg?v=1791107983","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/serkyem-offering-bowl-buddhist-sacred-offering-vessel","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
