"A Masterpiece of Woodworking: The Elegant Elephant Inlaid Jali Box."
♦ Also known as wooden container, jewel box, storage box, jali box, elephant inlay box, carved wood box.
♦ Origin:
The Elephant Inlaid Box Carved has its origins in traditional Indian carpentry, notably from Rajasthan and Saharanpur, which are well-known centers for elaborate jali (lattice) and inlay work. Traditionally, these carved boxes were used to store valuable items, spices, texts, and ritual objects, as well as as prized jewelry boxes and wooden containers.
♦ This jali box style, which is skillfully handmade, has gained worldwide popularity, notably in Indian temples and residences. The symbolic elephant, which represents royal power and is linked to Lord Ganesha, increases its aesthetic and divine worth. This box design is frequently given as a gift for keeping auspicious objects during weddings and Diwali celebrations.
♦ Applications & Uses:
This storage container acts as a celestial jewel box, storing turmeric, kumkum, sacred ash (vibhuti), trinkets, or even little scriptures. You can use it as a wooden box for your personal items, prayer supplies, or as an aesthetic addition to your living room or prayer area. Due to its elephant inlay, it is an ideal present for Navaratri or Ganesh Chaturthi.
♦ Preservation:
Keep the storage box in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture to extend its lifespan. To preserve the wood's gloss and ward off termites, use natural wax or oil to polish it occasionally. To protect the contents, keep camphor or silica gel inside.
♦ Using a jali box like this to hold holy objects or placing it in your pooja space is consistent with Vastu principles in Hinduism, where elephants represent Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Particularly during Lakshmi Puja and Ganesh Chaturthi, when keeping coins or kumkum in it is seen as fortunate, it is highly valued.
