Origin of the Tibetan singing bowlsis still a matter of debate, but many historiansbelieve that metal artisans learned and perfected the art of making singing bowlsabout twenty five hundred years ago. Though not much of any written evidence of Tibetan singing bowls and its origin is found to the date, there are myths and stories about the Tibetan signing bowlsabout how it was brought to Tibet from India when Buddhism was introduces first to Tibet by the great master,Padmasambhava. This story leads us to believe that the Tibetan singing bowls must have been brought to Tibet sometimes in 8th century AD.
There are some stories about the singing bowl, which tells that the singing bowls might have come to Tibet from India where singing bowls were used as the prayer bowls in ancient times.

Singing bowls are popularly referred as the Tibetan singing bowls, Tibetan healing bowls or Tibetanmeditation bowls and many people assume that the bowl must have been originated from the region of Tibet. But as we look at the fact, it must not be possible for the singing bowls to originate from Tibet.

Looking at the second factor of the story is the currently place of production. Though it is called the Tibetan singing bowls almost all of the Tibetan signing bowls or Himalayan singing bowls are made in Nepal, even in the modern days. Nepali metal artisans were considered among the best metal artisans back in time and it is still the truth.
