Indian peacock bowls were traditionally placed in front of Buddhist temples in the past to offer water, tea and rice. They were mainly used for ritual and ceremonial purposes. They were used as offering vessels in religious ceremonies and also at weddings and other festive occasions.

The ornate patterns and the use of precious metals such as brass gave these bowls a special significance and made them valuable cultural assets. Today, an Indian peacock bowl is a decorative and functional object.
