Originating from ancient monastic customs, \"Serkyem\" translates to “golden drink,” symbolizing the offering of precious liquids such as tea, alcohol, or milk. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nidhiratna ","offers":[{"title":"17.5cm X 15.5cm \/ 0.46kg","offer_id":51256453038326,"sku":"793 RSOAK","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/5141\/7846\/files\/handcrafted-silver-plated-serkyem-offering-set-by-newari-artisans-from-patan-nepal.jpg?v=1783924641","url":"https:\/\/nidhiratna.com\/products\/serkyem-sacred-buddhist-altar-offering","provider":"Nidhiratna ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
