About this piece
3.5" solid brass Diya — Om-shaped diya. Hand-cast in Moradabad, the brass-craft capital of India, by artisans whose families have been working in metal for generations.
About this deity
Brass diyas are lit at dawn, at dusk, and at every threshold of life. The flame they hold is older than language — the constant of every Indian home for thousands of years. A solid brass diya is a piece you light into for decades.

Craft notes
The piece is finished in polished plain brass — bright, golden, and warm — with hand-engraved detailing where present. It will deepen in tone slightly with age. The piece is solid brass throughout — there is no plating, no hollow shell. Slight variations in finish, dimension, and weight are inherent to the handmade process and are part of the character of each piece.
Care & placement
Light with cotton wicks soaked in pure ghee or sesame oil. Place on a stable, heat-safe surface. Wipe clean after each use.

Each piece is hand-cast individually. Slight variation in finish and dimension is part of the character of the work.
Care & placement
Wipe regularly with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Brass darkens slightly with age — a soft patina is part of the character. Polish gently with a brass cleaner to restore brightness.
