A brass peacock diya, like the one in the image, is a particularly ornate and symbolically rich type of traditional oil lamp, primarily used for religious rituals, spiritual ambiance, and as an exquisite piece of home decor. The peacock adds layers of meaning to the traditional diya.

• Religious Rituals (Pujas and Aartis):

  • Worship: Like any diya, its main purpose is to hold oil and a wick, which is then lit during Hindu prayers, ceremonies (pujas), and aartis (a ritual of waving lamps before a deity).

  • Symbol of Light and Purity: The flame symbolizes light, dispelling darkness (ignorance), inviting knowledge, purity, and positive energy into the sacred space.

  • Offering to Deities: Lighting a diya is a traditional offering to gods and goddesses during daily worship or on special occasions.

• Symbolism of the Peacock: The peacock is a highly revered bird in Hinduism and adds significant layers of symbolism to the diya:

  • Divine Vehicle: The peacock is the vehicle (vahana) of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya) and also associated with Goddess Saraswati. Its presence thus invokes their blessings – Murugan for courage, wisdom, and victory, and Saraswati for knowledge and arts.

  • Beauty and Grace: Peacocks are known for their beauty, grace, and vibrant colors, symbolizing elegance and aesthetic appeal.

  • Protection and Immortality: In many cultures, the peacock is seen as a protector against evil and misfortune, and its long lifespan symbolizes immortality.

  • Royalty and Spirituality: The peacock is India's national bird and symbolizes royalty, pride, and spiritual awakening.
