CRYSTAL DIYA SET GOLDEN COLOR

Diya specifications can vary depending on their purpose and cultural or religious traditions. However, here are some common specifications for traditional Indian diyas used in various ceremonies and festivals, including Diwali:

1. Material: Traditional diyas are often made from clay (terracotta) or brass. Clay diyas are common for religious and cultural ceremonies due to their symbolism and eco-friendliness.
2. Shape: Diyas typically have a saucer-like shape with a central depression for holding oil or ghee (clarified butter) and a wick. They can be round or have more intricate designs, but the central depression is a defining feature.
3. Size: Diya sizes can vary widely, from small ones that fit in the palm of your hand to larger decorative ones that are used as centerpieces.
4. Wick: A wick is placed in the central depression of the diya and is soaked in oil or ghee. Traditional cotton wicks are commonly used.
5. Decorations: Diyas are often decorated with colorful paints, intricate designs, or embellishments. These decorations can vary widely and add to their aesthetic appeal.
6. Number: Depending on the occasion, you might light a single diya or multiple diyas. During Diwali and other festivals, it’s common to light multiple diyas to create a warm and festive atmosphere.
7. Fuel: Diyas are fueled by oil or ghee. Some modern versions may use vegetable oil or other safe alternatives, but traditionally, ghee is preferred for its purity.
8. Flame: When lit, the diya flame symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and the dispelling of ignorance. The flame is considered sacred and represents positivity.
9. Placement: Diyas are placed in various locations during festivals, ceremonies, and rituals. For Diwali, they are often placed in and around homes, temples, and other places of worship. They can be placed on windowsills, balconies, doorways, and puja rooms.
10. Symbolism: Diyas hold deep symbolic significance in Hinduism and other Indian religions. They symbolize the removal of darkness, the inner light within us, and the welcoming of knowledge and wisdom.
