A singing bowl is a type of bell, though it is often referred to as a standing bell. It is played by striking or rubbing its rim with a wooden or leather-wrapped mallet to produce a resonant sound. These bowls are typically made of metal alloys, such as bronze, and are revered for their meditative and healing properties. Originating from Tibetan Buddhist traditions, singing bowls are used in various spiritual practices, sound healing therapies, meditation sessions, and yoga practices around the world.
