Smoking Chillum traces here the origin of chillums. Though chillums are believed to have originated in purely spiritual contexts, nowadays they also serve as aesthetic items of collection and for recreation by drug users. The ritualistic use of chillums is seen among sadhus in India during their incantations to the Hindu God Shiva. Smoking chillums is a social event for them where sadhus sit together chanting incantations and passing chillums to each other while invoking Shiva’s name. Since the sixties, smoking chillums have been used in South American and European nations by the Hippies.
