About the Product
Some things don't follow trends — they stay with us for generations.
The Damru Matka is inspired by the traditional way Indian homes have stored drinking water for centuries. Made from pure copper, this beautifully handcrafted vessel brings together wellness, durability, and timeless design.
In a world full of plastic and steel containers, the Damru Matka offers something more natural. Store your drinking water the way our elders did — allowing it to rest in pure copper overnight and turning it into what Ayurveda calls Tamra Jal, water enriched with the natural goodness of copper.
But beyond health, this matka simply feels right at home.
✨ Why the Damru Matka Feels Right at Home
Imagine it placed in your kitchen corner or dining space — its warm copper glow catching the light. It quietly becomes part of your everyday rhythm.
Morning hydration before starting your day.
A refreshing glass offered to guests.
Water ready for your family at any time.
No plastic taste. No unnecessary chemicals. Just pure water stored naturally.
Its thoughtfully balanced damru shape isn't just beautiful — it provides stability and generous capacity for daily use. Whether you choose the 10 Ltrs (Small) or the 14 Ltrs (Medium), it's designed for real households and real routines.
This isn't just about storing water.
It's about bringing simplicity and intention back into your home.
🌿 The Wellness of Copper
For centuries, copper has been valued in Ayurveda for its natural properties. Water stored in a pure copper vessel is believed to:
- Support digestion
- Help maintain immunity
- Assist in balancing the body's natural energies
- Contribute to overall well-being
By simply storing water overnight (6–8 hours), you can make this ancient practice part of your modern lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to Clean Your Copper Vessel
Copper Utensils
- 🍋 Lemon & Salt: Rub a lemon half dipped in salt on the surface. Leave for 2–3 minutes. Rinse and dry immediately.
- 🌿 Tamarind Paste: Apply tamarind paste, rub gently, rinse, and dry. Excellent for heavy tarnish.
- 🥶 Vinegar & Salt: Mix equal parts, apply with a soft cloth, leave for 5 minutes, rinse well, and dry.
- 🍼 Daily Rinse: Rinse with warm water after each use. Dry immediately — never air-dry or leave water inside.
With Lacquer/Meena Coating
Lacquer or Meena (enamel resin) coating gives your copper vessel its beautiful colour and design. With the right care, this coating stays vibrant for years — but it needs gentler handling than plain copper.
- 🧹 Wipe Gently: Use a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Wipe the outer surface lightly in circular motions. Never scrub.
- 🫧 Mild Soap if Needed: Add a drop of mild dish soap to lukewarm water. Dip a soft sponge and gently clean the outside. Avoid applying pressure on coated areas.
- 💧 Rinse Carefully: Rinse with slow-running lukewarm water. Do not submerge or soak.
- 🧺 Pat Dry Immediately: Use a soft, dry cloth. Pat gently — do not rub or wring. Never air-dry, as moisture can weaken the bond between the coating and copper.
- ☀️ Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged UV exposure can fade Meena colours and crack resin coatings. Store in shade or a cupboard.
- 🌞 Keep Away from Heat: Do not place near stoves or in hot environments. Extreme heat can soften and peel the lacquer.
- 👁️ Handle with Care: Coating can chip on impact. Place on soft surfaces and avoid dropping. Never stack without padding between vessels.
- 📈 Dry Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Humidity trapped inside can cause the coating to lift from the edges over time.
- 🧹 Clean Gently & Often: Light, regular wiping prevents buildup. Heavy scrubbing to remove old grime can cause more damage than the grime itself.
- 🌸 Polish Uncoated Areas Only: If the vessel has uncoated copper parts, polish only those areas with lemon & salt. Keep polishing agents away from the coated design.
Note:
- ❌ Never use a dishwasher: Heat and detergent can strip the coating completely.
- ❌ Never use lemon, tamarind, or vinegar on coated surfaces: Acids can damage or dissolve the lacquer.
- ❌ Never scrub with steel wool, abrasive sponges, or rough cloths.
- ❌ Never soak coated vessels: Prolonged exposure to water can lift the coating from the edges.
- ❌ Never use bleach, chemical cleaners, or polishing powders on coated areas.
- ❌ Never microwave or heat the vessel: Overheating can damage the coating and may release fumes.
