The peacock (Mayil in Tamil; Mayura in Sanskrit) is one of the most sacred and auspicious birds in Hindu tradition. The peacock is the vahana (divine mount) of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya/Skanda) — the god of war, wisdom, and eternal youth — and is also associated with Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and arts. In Hindu iconography, the peacock symbolises grace, beauty, divine artistry, the destruction of the ego, and spiritual awakening. The elegantly curved peacock neck and engraved feathers of this Size 2 diya capture the natural grace and sculptural beauty of the peacock in a more three-dimensional and artistically detailed form than the Size 1, making it the more premium and visually commanding piece in the Peacock Diya range. A peacock diya (Mayil Vilakku) is considered especially auspicious for home pooja, as it combines the sacred symbolism of the peacock with the divine act of lighting the lamp — dispelling darkness and inviting divine light, grace, and blessings into the home. It is particularly beloved for Karthigai Deepam — the festival of lights celebrated in Tamil Nadu dedicated to Lord Murugan and Lord Shiva.

Fill the diya cup with pure sesame oil (gingelly oil) or pure cow’s ghee and use a cotton wick for the most auspicious and traditional flame. Light during morning and evening pooja, aarti rituals, Diwali, and Karthigai Deepam. Clean with a soft, dry cloth after use to maintain the radiant antique golden shine finish and preserve the curved peacock neck and engraved feather detailing. Use brass cleaning powder occasionally to restore the shine. Keep away from moisture and harsh chemicals to preserve the antique golden finish.
