Two glasses from the same heartwood — for a household that keeps the ritual together, or for one to keep and one to give. Grown on our own plantation, turned unpolished, and traceable to the soil each glass came from.
Provenance & authenticity
Both glasses are turned from genuine Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood grown on our plantation outside Visakhapatnam — not bought from a middleman, not cut from a wild forest. We leave the wood unpolished, because the surface is part of the proof: real heartwood shows its grain and its colour.
How to use — the Prātah ritual
Rinse before first use. Fill at dusk with drinking water. Rest overnight, covered, at room temperature. At first light, pour a little of the amber concentrate into a full glass of drinking water and drink that. Rinse and air-dry.
Care
Water only — no soap, no dishwasher. Air-dry upright. Natural surface lines are characteristic of genuine heartwood, not a defect.
Prātah — how to use
The practice is old and it is simple. That's rather the point.
-
Rinse your glass with clean water before first use.
-
Fill it at dusk with drinking water, to the brim.
-
Rest it overnight, covered, at room temperature.
-
Drink at first light. The water will have taken on a warm amber colour from the heartwood — this is the wood, and it's how you know it's real. Pour a little of the amber concentrate into a full glass of drinking water, and drink that.
-
Rinse and air-dry. Never soap, never dishwasher.

Provenance & authenticity
Every Vijoras glass is turned from Pterocarpus marsupium heartwood grown on our plantation outside Visakhapatnam — not bought from a middleman, not cut from a wild forest. We leave the wood unpolished, because the surface is part of the proof: real heartwood shows its grain, its colour, and in time, its character.
Specifications
Care
Rinse with water only. Air-dry upright. Do not use soap, detergent or a dishwasher. Do not soak for more than 12 hours. Natural wood may develop fine surface lines over time — this is characteristic of genuine heartwood, not a defect.
The wood
Vijaysar is named in the classical Ayurvedic texts as a rasayana — a restorer of vitality — and known by the old names Asana, Bijaka and Priyaka, the beloved. The overnight water practice is among the oldest uses recorded for it.
Questions
How long does a glass last?
With daily use and proper care, [___ months]. The amber colour will gradually lighten as the wood gives up its character; that's your signal to replace it.
Why is the water amber?
That's the heartwood. It's the simplest proof you have real wood and not a stained substitute.
Why isn't it polished?
Polish hides the wood. We leave it bare so you can see exactly what you've bought.
Do you make medical claims?
No. Vijoras is traditional Ayurvedic drinkware. Please consult your physician for health advice.
We follow the Ayurvedic tradition of the overnight water ritual. Vijoras makes no medical claims; please consult your physician for health advice.
