The Bhumpa, or Ritual Vase, is an important ceremonial offering item used for water purification for initiation ceremonies. The Bhumpa vase has a long spout for pouring out water and also is used with a detachable Peacock feather water sprinkler. The purified holy water is believed to remove negativity and to chase away evil spirits, and it is sprinkled or poured to purify persons, places or objects. Bhumpas are widely used by Buddhist Lamas and Gurus in many types of Buddhist ceremonies, from elaborate purification rituals for new houses, monuments and holy sites, to simple blessings for disciples meant to purify and protect them from harmful forces.
