# Urli Bowl # Urli Bowls – Traditional Elegance for Modern Homes ## What is an Urli? An [urli](https://ikiru.in/collections/urli-bowl) is a traditional Indian vessel - typically a wide, shallow bowl - originally used in South Indian temples and households for floating flowers and diyas on water. Today, urlis have become a beloved home decor element across India, used as centrepieces, entrance decor and pooja accessories. IKIRU's [urli collection](https://ikiru.in/collections/urli-bowl) features hand-crafted brass, copper, terracotta and resin urlis in traditional and contemporary forms. ## How to Style an Urli Bowl Fill your [urli](https://ikiru.in/collections/urli-bowl) with water and float fresh or dried rose petals, marigolds, lotus flowers and small diyas or floating candles. Add a few drops of rose water or essential oil to the water for a subtle fragrance. Place on an entryway console, dining table or coffee table. For a dry display, fill with smooth pebbles, moss, potpourri or small succulents. Urlis can be styled differently depending on the occasion or season, making them incredibly versatile: Festive Styling (Diwali, weddings, celebrations): Fill with marigolds, rose petals, and multiple diyas for a rich, vibrant look Minimal Everyday Styling: Keep it simple with water, a few petals, and one or two floating candles Monsoon / Spa-inspired Look: Add floating leaves, white flowers, and a few drops of essential oil for a calming vibe Dry Decorative Styling: Use beads, potpourri, or moss for a no-maintenance setup. ## Types of Urli Bowls  • Brass Urli – Traditional auspicious metal with a warm golden tone   • Copper Urli – Sacred metal with health and Ayurvedic significance   • Terracotta Urli – Earthy, rustic clay bowls for a natural aesthetic   • Resin Urli – Lightweight decorative urlis in faux brass and copper finishes   • Embossed Urli – Decorative bowls with engraved floral and temple motifs ### Frequently Asked Questions  Q: What flowers are best for an urli?  A: Marigolds, rose petals, lotus flowers and jasmine buds float beautifully in an urli.
