Designer Peacock Diya :

The Designer Peacock Diya you’ve shown, where the peacock is gracefully holding the lamp bowl ,

• Pooja (Daily Prayer): The lamp is lit every morning and evening during daily worship rituals at the home altar.
• Festivals and Auspicious Occasions: It is prominently displayed and lit during major Hindu festivals, such as Diwali (Festival of Lights), Navratri, and Karthigai Deepam, to invite blessings and illuminate the house.
• The Ritual:
  • Place a cotton wick in the bowl held by the peacock.
  • Fill the bowl with oil (e.g., sesame, coconut) or ghee (clarified butter).
  • Light the wick, symbolizing the triumph of light (knowledge) over darkness (ignorance).
  • The Peacock (Mayura):
    • Divine Grace: The peacock is revered in Indian culture for its beauty, grace, and majestic full-fanned tail. It symbolizes elegance and spiritual awakening.
    • Vehicle of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya): The peacock is the mount (vahana) of Lord Murugan (the God of War and Victory). Its presence invokes blessings for courage, wisdom, and success.
    • Association with Saraswati: It is often linked to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, arts, and music, representing the spiritual watchfulness that protects against ignorance.
    • The Diya Bowl (Held by the Beak): The delicate manner in which the peacock holds the light is a designer touch that emphasizes the concept of the peacock (symbol of the enlightened soul) carrying or delivering the divine light/knowledge to the devotee.
    • The Brass Material: Brass is considered a sacred and auspicious metal (sattvic), believed to be an excellent conductor of divine and positive energies in the worship space.
