The Supreme Personality of Godhead possesses a happy, lotus-like expression, red eyes like the interior of a lotus, and a swarthy body like blue lotus petals. In three of His hands, He holds a conch, a discus, and a mace.

This brass Diya with a blue lotus embellishment underneath the Diya combines the auspiciousness of the blue lotus, which is typically connected with Lord Krishna's visage. The blue colour of the lotus is said to be as peaceful as Lord Krishna's blue complexion. Looking like a full bloomed lotus from above, this Diya is ideal for heavenly rites due to its extended wick and accommodating form.

Illuminating Tradition

More than just a light source, the diya holds profound significance in Hindu traditions, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. The warm glow emanating from the diya is believed to invite positive energy and blessings into the home, making it an essential element in daily rituals, festivals, and auspicious occasions. Each flicker is a prayer, a hope, a connection to the divine. In the heart of Hindu practice, the lighting of a diya is an act of reverence and faith. It is common to find them placed in temples, homes, and businesses, serving as a constant reminder of the divine presence in our lives. They are often lit during prayer (puja) to invoke deities, during Diwali, the festival of lights, to welcome prosperity and happiness, and on various other holy days. Lighting a diya is an offering, a humble gesture to the gods, acknowledging their benevolence and seeking their guidance. The ritualistic act of lighting the diya, the scent of the oil or ghee, and the soft glow of the flame create an ambiance of peace and devotion.

The Lotus and the Light

This beautiful diya brings together the sacred symbolism of light with the purity and spiritual awakening represented by the lotus flower. The lotus, Padmasana, is considered to be one of the most sacred flowers in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Born in muddy waters, it rises above the surface to bloom in pristine beauty, symbolizing enlightenment, purity, rebirth, and detachment. The lotus is often associated with deities like Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, and Brahma, the creator of the universe, further enhancing its divine symbolism. Its association with divine beings and the journey from murky depths to radiant beauty makes it an ideal symbol to accompany the light, signifying spiritual growth and the dispelling of ignorance. Crafted from brass, this diya, featuring delicate petal design, brings a touch of elegance and tradition to any space. The brass finish radiates a golden hue, mirroring the light it holds and adding a touch of opulence to your altar or home decor. Place it in your puja room, living room, or any space where you seek to create a peaceful and spiritually uplifting atmosphere. The design ensures stability and ease of use, making it both a functional and beautiful addition to your sacred space.

The Power of Light: Understanding the Role of Oil Lamps in

Hinduism Hinduism is a boon to human society for it guides everyone to follow their Dharma and rise above the material concept of life. Hinduism is also known as “Sanatan Dharma”. These are Sanskrit terms in which Sanatan means “eternal” and Dharma means “Intrinsic nature or occupation”. Thus it deals with the intrinsic nature or the real identity of the living entities; that which can never be taken away from them. The principles of Hinduism are given in the Vedic literature or scriptures that are considered “Apaurusheya”; they have not been written by any ordinary person but have been compiled by Vyasadev, the literary incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna. The word “Veda” means complete knowledge, both material and spiritual. The knowledge in Vedic literature is so vast and precise that if one looks carefully, he will notice that nothing is sentimental or imaginary but is based on facts and truth. There is a clear description and information about the identity of all living beings, the nature of the Absolute Truth, the reason for the existence of this world, the information about the world beyond this universe, and the relationship between us and God, the Absolute Truth.

Why do we light a lamp?

There are many rituals recommended in the Vedas for engaging our body and mind in the service of God. One of them is the lighting of ghee or oil lamps before the deity. According to the Vedic injunctions, all auspicious functions begin with lighting a lamp. It has a great spiritual significance. It is believed that the light of the lamp symbolizes “knowledge”, the wick symbolizes the false ego of the living entity, and ghee (clarified butter) or oil symbolizes all the negative tendencies (Anarthas) accumulated in the heart such as greed, lust, anger, and envy. When the lamp is lit by spiritual knowledge, all the Anarthas are exhausted, and the false ego, which is the root cause of conditional life, is also burnt. Therefore, the lamp is lit before the Lord as a sacrifice of our false ego in His service. Just as the light of the lamp dissipates all darkness, similarly, the light of knowledge dissipates ignorance of the Jivas and enables us to realize our real identity and purpose of life.

Why only an oil or ghee lamp?

One may question why only an oil lamp is lit before the Lord and why not an artificial light source. This may sound logical but lighting a lamp has a further spiritual significance. The flame of the light in a lamp always burns upwards indicating that by cultivating spiritual knowledge, one achieves the highest perfection of life and is always victorious. Also, a traditional lamp is the purest form of offering.

In almost every house of a follower of Sanatan Dharma, an oil or ghee lamp is lit before the altar of the Lord or before the Tulsi plant. Some people light it at dawn, some at dusk, and some people prefer to light it at dawn and dusk. Either ghee or sesame oil can be used to burn the wick. Vaishnavas (devotees of Lord Vishnu or Krishna) especially light a ghee lamp every day in the month of Kartik to offer their love and devotion to the Lord.
