This beautifully crafted copper donga merges Kashmir's centuries-old metalworking heritage with contemporary design sensibilities. Hand-engraved by skilled artisans using the traditional naqashi technique, each bowl features the timeless chinar leaf motif – a symbol deeply woven into Kashmiri culture and identity.

The modern silhouette of this donga makes it remarkably versatile for today's lifestyle while honoring authentic craftsmanship. The intricate hand-carved chinar leaves flow gracefully across the copper surface, their delicate details catching light and shadow to create visual depth and warmth.

Traditionally used in Kashmiri households for everyday and ceremonial purposes, the donga adapts beautifully to modern needs. Store prepared dishes in the refrigerator, maintaining freshness while adding an artisanal touch to your kitchen. The secure design makes it ideal for gifting homemade delicacies to friends and family, transporting dishes for gatherings, or packing meals for journeys – continuing Kashmir's tradition of sharing food with thoughtfulness and care.
