Description

Full moon singing bowl featuring deep, rich dark chocolate finish handcrafted in Nepal during lunar phases. The distinctive dark brown coloring creates warm, sophisticated appearance that stands apart from conventional metallic singing bowls, bringing contemporary aesthetic sensibility to traditional Himalayan instruments.

The dark chocolate finish is achieved through specialized surface treatment processes applied by Nepalese artisans, creating consistent, deep coloring across the bowl's exterior. The rich dark tones contrast beautifully with the natural metallic interior, creating visual depth that catches attention in meditation spaces and yoga studios.

Questions & Clarity

What is a Full Moon Singing Bowl?

Imagine a craftsman in Kathmandu, sitting under the open night sky at the peak of the full moon, hammering a bowl into shape while chanting ancient mantras. That's not a marketing story — that's how these bowls have been made for generations. The belief is simple: a bowl forged when the moon is fullest absorbs something of that energy into its metal. Whether you hold that as spiritual truth or beautiful tradition, what you receive is a bowl made with a level of care and intention that you can actually feel when you hold it.

Is the full moon claim authentic?

Honestly? It's a traditional Nepali belief, not a laboratory finding. We won't pretend otherwise. What we can tell you is this — a bowl made slowly, intentionally, during a specific phase of the lunar cycle, by an artisan who has spent decades learning his craft, is a fundamentally different object than something stamped out in a factory. The moon may or may not matter. The human hands absolutely do.

What size should I choose?

Think about where and how you'll use it. If you meditate alone at a desk or travel with your practice, a smaller bowl (10–16 cm) gives you a bright, focused tone that's easy to carry. If you want something for your home — a bowl that fills a room and becomes part of your space — a medium (17–22 cm) is where most people land and rarely regret. If you're a sound therapist or want something that stops a room cold when struck, go large (23 cm+). When in doubt, go one size bigger than you think. You can always play a large bowl softly. You can't make a small bowl fill a hall.

How do I care for my bowl?

Treat it like something worth keeping — because it is. Keep it dry after use. Skip the chemical cleaners entirely. Every few months, give it a gentle wipe with a soft cloth and a touch of natural oil — this keeps the finish alive and the metal happy. Store it on its cushion, away from direct sunlight. That's genuinely all it needs. These bowls are built to outlast us if we just don't neglect them.

Can I request a custom-designed bowl?

Yes — and this is one of the most personal things we offer.

If you have something specific in mind — a mantra you want carved, a symbol that holds meaning for you, a design for a special occasion, or a bowl made as a truly one-of-a-kind gift — we can work with our artisans in Kathmandu to bring it to life.

Every custom order is handcrafted to your request. Because it takes extra time, care, and a dedicated session with our craftsmen, custom designs carry a small additional charge of $50 USD on top of the bowl price.

Here's how it works:

  1. Choose your bowl — pick the size and weight that suits you
  2. Share your vision — a symbol, a mantra, a pattern, or just a feeling you want it to carry
  3. We sketch and confirm — our artisans draft the design and we share it with you before work begins
  4. It's made for you — hammered, carved, and finished by hand in Kathmandu
  5. Ships with your name on it — literally made for no one else

Custom orders typically take 2–3 weeks before shipping.
