Ideal for those who want a single, prominent daily puja diya with a long-burning flame that does not need constant refilling, or for use as the centrepiece lamp in a festival diya arrangement. The diya features a wide, deep bowl with a warm golden brass mirror-polished interior, elegantly embellished with bold vertical reed fluting (ribbed channels) on the entire outer body. The central brass Salai wick pin (needle holder) holds a cotton wick upright in the oil for a clean, stable, non-flickering Akanda Deepam flame. The bowl sits on a tall, prominent cylindrical pedestal foot base with heavy ring-turned mouldings, providing maximum stability and a visually commanding presence on any altar surface. At 70 grams and 2.5 inches in diameter, this is the premium daily-use brass Salai Diya for home altars, temple niches, festival lamp centrepieces, and auspicious gifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter (Bowl):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Golden Brass with polished mirror-finish interior bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Decoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical reed fluting (ribbed channels) on entire outer bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWick Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Central brass Salai (wick pin \/ needle holder) for upright cotton wick positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tall cylindrical pedestal foot base with heavy ring-turned mouldings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for ghee, sesame oil, coconut oil, or any traditional lamp oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e DYA-BR-2P5-003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpiritual Significance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Diya (Deepam\/Vilakku) is the most fundamental sacred object in Hindu worship — the flame represents the divine light of Brahman (the Supreme Consciousness), the removal of ignorance (Avidya), and the illumination of wisdom (Jnana). Lighting a diya before the deity at dawn (Suprabhata) and dusk (Sandhya Deepam) is the most essential daily act of puja (Nitya Deepam) in Hindu households. The Salai Diya form with its central wick pin is the traditional South Indian deep-burning diya design that keeps the wick upright in the oil for a stable, non-flickering Akanda Deepam flame. The 2.5 inch bowl — the largest in this series — holds maximum oil capacity for the longest continuous burn time, making it especially well suited for extended puja sessions, all-night Akanda Deepam on Shivaratri, Karthigai Deepam (where the flame is traditionally kept burning all day and night), and as the centrepiece lamp on festival altar arrangements. Lighting a diya is believed to invoke divine blessings, remove negative energy, and attract prosperity and peace into the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest 2.5 inch bowl in the series — maximum oil capacity for the longest continuous Akanda Deepam burn time, ideal for extended and overnight festival puja\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTallest, most substantial pedestal base — commanding altar presence and maximum stability as the centrepiece lamp in festival diya arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold vertical reed fluting — elegant, visually prominent temple-art aesthetic at any scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral brass Salai wick pin — stable, upright wick for a clean, non-flickering long-burning flame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVastu \u0026amp; Placement Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the Salai Diya on a clean brass or silver plate (thali) or in your puja room altar niche. Fill the bowl with ghee, sesame oil, or coconut oil to just below the rim. Thread a clean cotton wick through the central Salai wick pin hole, allowing the wick tip to extend slightly above the pin for lighting. Light at dawn and dusk for Nitya Deepam. For extended puja and all-night Akanda Deepam on Shivaratri or Karthigai Deepam, the 2.5 inch bowl provides the longest burn time of the three sizes without refilling. Use as the centrepiece lamp in a graduated lamp arrangement combining all three Salai Diya sizes (2 inch, 2.2 inch, and 2.5 inch) for a visually stunning festival altar. Always place on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Gift For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiwali, Karthigai Deepam, Shivaratri, and Navratri festival gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousewarming (Griha Pravesh) — as the main puja room altar lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily puja practitioners wanting the largest, most prominent single daily-use brass diya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Salai Diya 3-size sets (2 inch + 2.2 inch + 2.5 inch) as a premium graduated lamp gifting set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulk gifting for religious events, corporate Diwali gifting, and premium festival hampers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter use, allow the diya to cool completely before handling. Remove any remaining oil and used wick. Clean the interior bowl and wick pin with a soft cloth. To clean the brass and restore the golden shine, apply a paste of tamarind or lemon juice mixed with salt, rub gently, rinse with clean water, and dry thoroughly. Use a soft toothbrush to clean the fluted exterior channels and remove any soot deposits. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers that may scratch the polished mirror-finish interior or damage the fluted detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Pooja Articles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurated collection of authentic temple-art brass ritual lamps and diyas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecure packaging to ensure safe delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrusted by Hindu communities across India and worldwide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated customer support for all your puja needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pooja Articles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48197502664869,"sku":"DYA-BR-2P5-003","price":230.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9840\/5541\/files\/Brass_Salai_Diya_2_5_Inch.png?v=1788008381","url":"https:\/\/www.poojaarticles.com\/products\/brass-salai-diya-2-5-inch","provider":"poojaarticles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
