About this collection
This page holds 13 hanging diyas from ₹1,205, measuring 6.8 to 18.5 inch from the hook to the base of the lamp. Twelve are pure brass and 1 is aluminium. A hanging diya keeps the flame off the shelf, which helps in a small mandir and keeps it out of reach of children.
Measure the drop before you choose. The length on the listing includes the chain, so a 10.5 inch lamp needs at least that much clear space below the hook, plus room above the flame. The 6.8 and 8 inch pieces fit inside a wooden mandir. The 10 to 12 inch lamps suit a pooja room ceiling or a doorway, and the 18.5 inch piece is for a high ceiling. Designs include shankh, parrot, Lord Ganesh, murga and an evil eye pattern. Weights run from 330 g to 1.75 kg, and the price tops out at ₹4,640.
Heat rises, so leave a clear gap between the flame and any wood, cloth or toran above it. Fill the cup only half full so that oil does not spill when the lamp swings, and use a ceiling hook screwed into solid material.
