Here in this Vedic Yajna Set, there are five wooden objects utilized for the proper conduct of the process of making offerings to the sacred fire. In this set starting from the left, the first item is the Pranita (प्रणीता), this square-shaped spoon is used in the same ritual of making offerings.
At the beginning of the ritual, it is filled with water and kept. After offering ghee in the water of this Pranita Patra, the remaining ghee is dripped saying “Idam Na Mam”. Later this vessel is applied with ghee to the lips and mouth which is called Sansava Prashan.
The second one is Prokshini, through this round head small spoon, Vasordhara (stream of ghee) is released in Yagya or Havan. The third item is Sruva (स्रुवा), this rolling pin-like object is used for offering ghee in Yagya or Havan, where the ghee is dropped at a slow pace.
The fourth item is Safya (सफ्या), through this object that has a pointed head, the ashes of Yagya or Havan are collected. The fifth and final object is the Sruchi (स्रुचि), through this, the full offering of sweets is given in Yagya or Havan.
How to care for Wood Statues?
Wood is extensively used in sculpting especially in countries like China, Germany, and Japan. One feature that makes the wood extremely suitable for making statues and sculptures is that it is light and can take very fine detail. It is easier for artists to work with wood than with other materials such as metal or stone. Both hardwoods, as well as softwood, are used for making sculptures. Wood is mainly used for indoor sculptures because it is not as durable as stone. Changes in weather cause wooden sculptures to split or be attacked by insects or fungus. The principal woods for making sculptures and statues are cedar, pine, walnut, oak, and mahogany. The most common technique that sculptors use to make sculptures out of wood is carving with a chisel and a mallet. Since wooden statues are prone to damage, fire, and rot, they require proper care and maintenance.
It is extremely important to preserve and protect wooden sculptures with proper care. A little carelessness and negligence can lead to their decay, resulting in losing all their beauty and strength. Therefore, a regular clean-up of the sculptures is a must to prolong their age and to maintain their shine and luster.
