Diyas and Deepaks, 8 to 15 inch, Above ₹5,000
About this collection
Diyas and deepaks from eight to fifteen inch, in the higher band, are the finer brass lamps for a temple, a puja table or a Diwali display. Figure lamps and stand lamps with detailed bases suit a dedicated puja space, where the lamp is lit daily or for festivals.
Heavier brass lamps need care at the joints, since oil and soot settle into the detail. Brush the figure after each lighting, dry the cup and stem with a cloth, and keep the lamp level on its base. Keep the lamp well away from curtains and paper.
