Built with thick brass walls, a wide deep bowl for maximum oil capacity, and the broadest flared trumpet pedestal base in the series, this is the definitive heavy-duty daily puja lamp for serious continuous use and extended all-night Akanda Deepam. The diya features a wide, deep bowl with a radiant golden brass mirror-polished interior, elegantly embellished with bold vertical reed fluting (ribbed channels) on the entire outer body for a commanding temple-art aesthetic. The central brass Salai wick pin (needle holder) holds a cotton wick upright in the generous oil pool for a clean, stable, long-burning non-flickering flame. At 2 inches tall and 3.2 inches in diameter, this is the premium choice for the main altar Nitya Deepam in home puja rooms, extended all-night Akanda Deepam on Shivaratri and Karthigai Deepam, Diwali centrepiece lamps, and as the most impressive auspicious gift in the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium Brass (thick-walled construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter (Bowl):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 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 Broad flared trumpet pedestal foot base with prominent ring-turned mouldings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall Thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy-duty thick brass walls for superior heat retention and durability\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-3P2-005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpiritual Significance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\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 (continuous flame). The 3.2 inch bowl at 135 grams holds the maximum oil capacity in the entire series for the longest continuous all-night burn, making it especially well suited for Shivaratri (all-night vigil), Karthigai Deepam (all-day-and-night flame), and as the dominant centrepiece lamp commanding the full altar in Navratri and Diwali festival arrangements. Lighting a diya is believed to invoke divine blessings, dispel negative energies, and attract Lakshmi’s prosperity and peace into the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLargest 3.2 inch bowl in the series at 135 grams — maximum oil capacity and the longest all-night Akanda Deepam burn time of any size in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch height with thick-walled heavy brass construction — superior heat retention, durability, and the most premium weight-in-hand feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadest flared trumpet pedestal base — the most commanding altar presence and maximum stability in the entire series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold vertical reed fluting — the most visually striking and premium Salai Diya in the range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVastu \u0026amp; Placement Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the Salai Diya on a clean brass or silver plate (thali) or in your puja room altar niche as the primary lamp. Fill the deep bowl generously with ghee, sesame oil, or coconut oil. 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 all-night Akanda Deepam on Shivaratri or Karthigai Deepam, the 3.2 inch bowl provides the maximum continuous burn time in the series. Top up oil carefully from the side while the flame is burning — never extinguish and relight on these auspicious occasions. Position as the centrepiece in a graduated 5-size lamp arrangement for a stunning festival altar. Always place on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Gift For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiwali, Karthigai Deepam, Shivaratri, and Navratri premium festival gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHousewarming (Griha Pravesh) — as the permanent main puja room altar lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Salai Diya set as a premium graduated lamp gifting collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriests, pandits, and temples requiring the most heavy-duty premium daily altar lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium corporate Diwali gifting and highest-value festival hampers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter use, allow the diya to cool completely — the thick brass walls retain heat longer, so allow extra cooling time before handling. Remove any remaining oil and used wick. Clean the interior bowl and wick pin with a soft cloth. 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 soot deposits. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Buy From Pooja Articles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\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":48197605621925,"sku":"DYA-BR-3P2-005","price":419.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/9840\/5541\/files\/Brass_Salai_Diya_3_2_Inch.png?v=1788014068","url":"https:\/\/www.poojaarticles.com\/products\/brass-salai-diya-3-2-inch","provider":"poojaarticles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
