The typical shape of a ghara

Ghara is an earthen pot made in the Indian subcontinent. It is used for storing drinking water and keeping it cool.[1][2]

The word ghara has cognates in Pahari, Bengali[3] and Odia languages that can all be traced to the Sanskrit word ghaṭa meaning pot.[4] It is spelled in Template:Langx;[5] in Template:Langx;[6] in Template:Langx;[7] in Saraiki: دِلّا[8] and in Template:Langx.[9]

The word ghara is also used for the hollow bulbous protuberance on the snout of mature male gharials (Gavialis gangeticus) as it is shaped like a ghara. This protuberance enables them to emit a hissing sound that can be heard Template:Cvt away.[10]
