Designer Diya :

• Pooja and Worship: The main use of this diya is during Hindu religious ceremonies and daily worship (pooja). It is lit to honor deities and create a sacred atmosphere. The act of lighting the lamp symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.
• Multiple Wicks: A diya with multiple wicks, such as this one with five, holds special significance. The five wicks are believed to represent the Pancha Tattvas, or the five fundamental elements of the universe: earth (prithvi), water (jal), fire (agni), air (vayu), and space (akash). Lighting all five wicks is a way of offering reverence to the universe and its elements.
• Symbolism of the Peacock: The peacock (Mayura) is a powerful symbol in Hinduism. It is the vehicle (vahana) of several deities, including Lord Murugan (Kartikeya) and Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge and the arts. The peacock is also associated with Lord Krishna, who is famously depicted with a peacock feather in his crown. The presence of the peacock design on the diya symbolizes purity, beauty, grace, and prosperity. It is believed to bring good fortune and positive energy into the home.
• Festive Occasions: This type of elaborate diya is a central feature of festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights. It is used to decorate homes, temples, and altars, adding to the festive and spiritual ambiance.
