White marble Mortar Pestles

In India, mortars are used extensively to make spice mixtures for various delicacies as well as day to day dishes. With the advent of motorized grinders, use of the mortar and pestle has decreased. It is traditional in various Hindu ceremonies (such as weddings, and
upanayanam) to crush turmeric in these mortars.
