The Para is a traditional rice holder deeply rooted in Kerala's culture, especially during the Onam festival. This replica of the Para, made from wood and accented with brass, designed to capture the essence of its traditional form. The overflowing Para, often adorned with flowers, embodies the hope for continuous prosperity and reflects the community's respect for nature's abundance and the agricultural heritage that sustains life.

In Kerala's traditional measurement system, the Para was the largest vessel, used to measure rice and grains in bulk. Historically, 4 Idangazhis equal 1 Para. The Para held special significance during Onam, Kerala's harvest festival celebrating the return of the mythical King Mahabali. During Onam, homes display an overflowing Para filled with rice and adorned with flowers, symbolizing prosperity, abundance, and gratitude for a bountiful harvest.

This full-size Kerala Para is a premium heritage piece featuring authentic traditional design and proportions, premium wood construction with natural finish, intricate brass embellishments that add elegance and cultural authenticity, and hand-crafted details by skilled Kerala artisans. The combination of wood and brass creates a beautiful contrast that highlights the vessel's cultural and historical significance.

This full-size Para can serve multiple purposes as a functional storage vessel for rice, grains, or dry goods, a stunning decorative centerpiece during Onam celebrations, a cultural artifact celebrating Kerala's agricultural heritage, or a premium gift for housewarmings, weddings, and special occasions. The substantial size makes it a commanding presence in any space, whether used functionally or decoratively.

Display this Para in your pooja room as a symbol of prosperity, in your living room as a cultural statement piece, in your kitchen as functional heritage storage, or as the centerpiece of your Onam Pookalam (flower arrangement) celebrations. The natural wood finish and golden brass accents create a warm, traditional aesthetic that honors Kerala's rich heritage.
