Panchmukhi Diyas and Deepaks
About this collection
Panchmukhi diyas and deepaks, the five-faced lamps in brass, are lit on a puja table, in a temple or at a Diwali display. The name refers to the five faces of the lamp, and the size decides how the lamp sits on the table. Pick the size for the table, since a five-faced lamp needs room to stand clear of the murtis.
Brass lamps need a quick wipe after each use. Clear the oil and soot from each cup with a soft cloth, and dry the lamp at once. Keep the lamp level on its base and away from curtains and paper. A tray under the lamp catches any oil that drips when the cup is filled.
