About Pathi

Pathi is a unit of measurement in Nepal equivalent to 8 manas; which is also a smaller nepali unit of measure. Pathi is equivalent to 4.25 litres. Pathi used to be the primary unit of measurement for buying daily groceries, including rice, lentils, etc. Pathi is also used in different occasions in Nepali culture.

Usage

You can use it as decoration in almost any racks, cupboards, dining tables. Regarding my personal opinion, this can be also used as a flower vase that is full of flowers. If you are an authentic type of guy/girl, you can resemble it's original usage by filling it with any kinds of rices or other grains. Copperitems inherently catch eyes of guests or even anyone visiting your house because of it's different color than rest of appliances, it's shine and it's unique shape from other cubical items. It's fine carved "butta" or carvings is a result of talented carving person's two days worth of concentrated carving, going into each of the astamangal or 8 signs of lucks' finest details.
