Brass Tomato Diya 1.7 Inch

This Tomato Diya is made of solid brass, handcrafted by skilled artisans. It features a polished golden hue finish in a symmetrical round tomato-shaped form with double-wick compatibility — the most substantial and feature-rich of the Tomato Diya range. The polished golden hue gives it a bright, warm radiance that is especially beautiful when lit with two wicks simultaneously, creating a fuller, more luminous flame for festival and extended pooja use.

The diya weighs 70 grams with dimensions of Height: 1.7 inches, Length: 1.9 inches, and Breadth: 1.9 inches — the largest and most substantial in the Tomato Diya range, with a wide 1.9×1.9 inch symmetrical base and a generous oil cavity that supports double-wick use. Its 70-gram weight gives it a satisfying, stable presence on any altar surface, making it the ideal choice for prominent daily pooja placement and festival lamp lighting.

The Tomato Diya (also known as Nanda Deepam, Nanda Vilakku, or Golu Diya) is one of the most beloved and widely used traditional South Indian oil lamp forms — named for its distinctive rounded, tomato-like shape that gives it a charming, compact, and stable form ideal for daily pooja use. In Hindu tradition, the diya (oil lamp) is the most sacred and essential element of any pooja ritual — lighting the diya symbolises the dispelling of darkness and ignorance and the inviting of divine light, knowledge, and blessings into the home. The double-wick feature of this 1.7-inch Tomato Diya is a significant distinction — in Hindu pooja tradition, lighting two wicks (Dwi Jyoti) is considered especially auspicious, as it represents the dual divine principles of Shiva and Shakti, or the divine couple (such as Vishnu and Lakshmi, or Rama and Sita), and is believed to double the divine blessings and positive energy invited into the home. Double-wick diyas are particularly popular for Diwali, Karthigai Deepam, and special pooja occasions where a more luminous and auspicious flame is desired.

Fill the generous oil cavity with pure sesame oil (gingelly oil) or pure cow’s ghee. For single-wick use, place one cotton wick in the centre; for double-wick use, place two cotton wicks side by side for a fuller, more luminous flame. Light during morning and evening pooja, aarti rituals, Diwali, and Karthigai Deepam. Clean with a soft, dry cloth after use to maintain the polished golden hue finish. Use brass cleaning powder occasionally to restore the shine. Keep away from moisture and harsh chemicals.

Yes, this Brass Tomato Diya makes a premium and auspicious gift — ideal for Diwali, Karthigai Deepam, housewarmings (Griha Pravesh), Navaratri, weddings, return gifting, and festival gifting. Its largest-in-range 1.7-inch size, substantial 70-gram weight, solid brass construction, polished golden hue finish, and double-wick compatibility make it the most premium and feature-rich gifting choice in the Tomato Diya range — a practical and auspicious gift for any devotee who values a fuller, more luminous flame for their daily pooja and festival celebrations. It comes in eco-friendly packaging, making it a neatly presented and auspicious gift.
