A Sacred Companion for Your Pooja!
Invite divine grace into your home with the Astothara Flower Plate with Stand, also called the Ashtottaram Flower Stand or 108 Hole Pooja Stand. Crafted for devotion, this holy accessory is not just a pooja item but a spiritual bajot that enhances every ritual with reverence and purity.
• Historical Roots and Origins
The custom of offering 108 flowers while chanting the divine names of deities comes from Vedic tradition, where Ashtottara Archana formed an integral part of worship. To make the ritual more organized, special flower plates with 108 cavities were designed by skilled artisans. This white metal stand reflects that ancient heritage, much like the traditional patla, chowki, and ritual stool once used in temples and homes to place offerings and sacred objects.
• Cultural Significance and Regional Respect:
The Astothara Flower Plate holds a place of honor in many parts of India, especially in South Indian households and temples. It is commonly used during Navaratri, Varalakshmi Vratam, Ganapati Homams, and other daily poojas. Its disciplined design allows devotees to perform archana with focus and completeness. Possessing such a stand is considered a sign of devotion and a way to preserve dharmic traditions.
• Ritual Application and Purpose:
The plate is designed for multiple devotional uses. Each of its 108 slots can hold flowers, kumkum, or other offerings while reciting divine names. It can be placed on a chowki or patla, serving as a sanctified altar. In many households, it is also used as a spiritual stool or bajot to elevate idols or lamps, making it both practical and spiritually significant.
• Maintenance and Preservation:
To keep the white metal shining, wipe it gently with a soft cloth after every use. Avoid moisture or harsh cleansers, and store it in a dry place. Wrapping it in a clean cloth helps preserve its sacred glow for many years, ensuring it remains a part of devotional practices for future generations.
The Astothara Flower Plate with Stand is more than a pooja accessory—it is a vessel of faith, discipline, and divine blessings.
