Kindi is a unique vessel, generally in use during Hindu rituals (puja) to dispense holy water as the user's hands will not contaminate the water while pouring. Kindi is also used to keep water at the entrance of the house, so that visitors can wash their feet as they enter the house or is kept in the backyard for people to wash their hands after a meal. Kindi is also a part of the set of vessels, traditionally given to the bride upon marriage.
