Wall Hanging Five Face Annam Diya :

• Pooja and Worship: The primary use of this lamp is for lighting during Hindu pooja (worship). The five faces of the diya are particularly significant. They are said to represent the five elements of nature: earth (prithvi), water (jal), fire (agni), air (vayu), and space (akash). Lighting all five wicks simultaneously symbolizes an offering to and a balance of these elements. It is believed to invoke positive energies and blessings from the divine.
• Symbolism of the Annam Bird: The “Annam” is a mythical swan-like bird (Haṃsa in Sanskrit). In Hindu mythology, the Annam is a symbol of purity, spiritual knowledge, and discretion. It is believed to have the mythical ability to separate milk from a mixture of milk and water, symbolizing the ability to distinguish good from evil or the spiritual from the material. The Annam is also the vehicle (vahana) of Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge and arts.
• Placement: As a wall-hanging diya, it is traditionally hung on the wall of a pooja room, near a temple’s sanctum, or in a prominent, auspicious location in the home. The chain and hook allow it to be safely suspended, creating a beautiful and sacred focal point.
