Their shape is reminiscent of a rounded fruit, presumably derived from the early use of hollowed-out fruit for the purpose of water vases. This particular type of globular lota is called a chambu, the form of which is a flattened sphere with a constricted neck. The chambu is associated with religious ceremonies and the holy city of Benares on the Ganges. It was previously believed that all chambus were made in Benares as containers for Ganges water. However, the presence of inscriptions in southern Indian languages on other examples, in addition to the wide stylistic variations, indicate regional traditions. (M. Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, pp.26, 207-223).
