In Puja ritual or Yagna or other religious ceremonies, the kalash is used for creating seat for invoked deities during the puja ritual. First it is filled with water and then leaves of mango tree or that of betel vine are kept in it. These leaves are known as leaves of deity’s seat. The deity principle gets maximally attracted to these leaves of seat. The water inside the kalash keeps this seat pure till the ritual of Prana Pratishta (invoking deity into an pratimaa, deity, coconut or betelnut). Thus the invoked deity principle stays for a long period.
