Gong 16 — 27 Inch Hand-Hammered Nepali Temple Gong One of a Kind

Nepali temple gongs are hand-hammered in the Kathmandu Valley by bronze craftsmen specialists.

This one is 27 inches across, hammered from a bronze in the bell-metal family, patinated dark, and finished with a full iconography that is unique to this one gong.

The central feature of this gong is a lotus mandala built into sacred geometry.

A large lotus blossom sits in the center with a circular seed-pod detail. Fine geometric lines and circles extend around the flower, creating a mandala structure with points and circular nodes above, below, and to either side. The image is framed by concentric rings, dotted bands, and a floral outer border.

The tone here is a deep A#2 as the dominant voice, with C4 and F3 partials above it that make the sound feel open and layered.

Played with a soft mallet it opens low and clear, then the middle partials become more active before falling away into the bass.

The character is structured and resonant, with the A#2 holding the center while the C4 and F3 partials create a geometric shimmer through the early sustain.

Playing will favor a single clean strike and a controlled roll that brings out the layers without crowding the central tone. It sounds like a different instrument depending on how you choose to play it.

At The Ohm Store every instrument is selected as a resonator first and a visual object second.

There is only one gong available like this, and you're receiving the exact gong that's pictured and recorded here.

This gong does not include a gong stand.
