Round Shape Diya With Handle Idol :
Primary Usage:
- Pooja (Worship): This object is a traditional Indian “diya” or oil lamp. It is primarily used for religious rituals and ceremonies in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism. A cotton wick is placed in the oil (typically ghee or mustard oil) in the bowl, and then lit.
- Symbolism: The lit lamp symbolizes the dispelling of darkness (ignorance) and the bringing of light (knowledge, wisdom). It is an essential item in daily pooja, during festivals like Diwali, and for special occasions.
Other Potential Usage:
- Home Decor: Due to its ornate design and brass material, it can be used as a decorative piece to add an ethnic or traditional touch to a living room, prayer room, or entryway.
- Gifting: As the product title suggests (“Pooja Gift”), it is a common and auspicious gift for housewarmings, weddings, festivals, and other celebratory events.
- Aromatherapy/Incense Holder: While not its primary function, a small amount of oil with a few drops of essential oil could be used to create a fragrant atmosphere, or it could potentially hold cone incense (though its shape is not optimized for this).
Key Features for Usage:
- Handle: The handle makes it easy to hold and carry the lamp, especially when performing “aarti” (a ritual of circling the lamp around a deity).
- Round Shape: The round bowl is a traditional shape for holding oil.
- Material (Brass): Brass is a durable metal that is considered auspicious in Indian culture. It is easy to clean and maintain, making it suitable for long-term use in religious ceremonies.
- Base: The wide, ornate base provides stability, preventing the lamp from tipping over.
