The Kalasha is believed to contain amrita, the elixir of life, and thus is viewed as a symbol of, wisdom, and immortality. It is a Divine power of God.
Other interpretations of the Purna-Kalasha associate with the five elements or the chakras. The wide base of metal pot represents the element Prithvi (Earth), the expanded center- Ap (Water), the neck of pot- Agni (fire), the opening of the mouth- Vayu (Air), and the coconut and mango leaves- Akasha (Aether). In contexts of chakras, the Shira (Literally “head”)- top of the coconut symbolizes Sahasrara chakra and the Moola (Literally “base”)- the base of Kalasha – the Muladhara chakra.
