Uttarakhand’s Traditional Copper Patha – The Heritage Grain Measure of the Himalayas

“Measuring more than grain – preserving our mountain legacy”

Handcrafted by  Tamta artisans of Bageshwar using techniques unchanged for centuries, this pure copper Patha represents the larger measure in Uttarakhand’s traditional grain measurement system. Where the Maani measures small quantities, the Patha completes the set – just as our ancestors used in village grain stores and temple kitchens.

Why This Patha Matters:

✔ Complete Traditional Set – 1 Patha = approx. 4 Maani (~2kg wheat measure)
✔ Sacred Measurement Standard – Used for festival bhandaras, community feasts, and annakut prasad
✔ Living History – Recreates the exact proportions used in ancient pahadi recipes
✔ Copper’s Natural Benefits – Keeps measured grains fresh and insect-free

Best For:

• Measuring bulk mandua, jhangora or bhatt for family gatherings
• Portioning prasad for Kumaoni festivals like Harela & Ghughutia
• Storing organic grains in a breathable, antimicrobial vessel
• Displaying as a heritage centerpiece with its companion Maani

Specs:

• Capacity: 1 Traditional Patha (~2kg grain)
