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":"16.5cm X 15.5cm \/ 0.48kg","offer_id":51256508645622,"sku":"790 RSOAK","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/serkyem-offering-set-with-oxidized-copper-and-gold-plated-finish-from-nepal.jpg?v=1783925462","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/serkyem-offering-traditional-buddhist-art-nepal","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
