Frequently Asked Questions

What is an akhand jyot or akhand diya?

It is a lamp kept continuously lit - through Navratri, a pooja period, or as a daily practice in a home mandir. The deep oil well and stable base are what let it burn for long stretches without frequent attention.

Why choose the taller pillar design?

The height lifts the flame clear of the other items on a mandir shelf, so the light spreads better and the flame is less likely to be disturbed by movement around it.

Which oil should I use in it?

Ghee, til (sesame) oil and mustard oil are all used in Indian homes, depending on the ritual and region. Ghee burns cleanest; til oil is the most economical for long, continuous burning.

How do I clean the brass when it darkens?

Brass develops a natural patina with time. Rub it with lemon and salt, tamarind paste or a brass cleaner such as Pitambari, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Many households prefer the aged look and simply dust it.

Is this a good gifting option?

Yes. It is commonly picked for Diwali gifting, griha pravesh and housewarmings, wedding return gifts and corporate hampers - useful, traditional and easy to courier to another city.

Made in India. As these pieces are finished in small batches, slight variations in tone, finish and detailing are natural.
