The image displays a brass Pradhosha Diya, which is a special type of oil lamp used in Hindu religious practices. It's distinguished by the inclusion of miniature idols of Lord Shiva (in Lingam form) and Nandi (the bull), Shiva's sacred mount.

Specialized for Pradhosham Pooja:

The primary and most significant usage of this diya is during the Pradhosham (or Pradosh) period. Pradhosham is a bi-monthly auspicious time, occurring on the 13th day (Trayodashi) of each lunar fortnight, around sunset.

This period is considered highly sacred for worshipping Lord Shiva, as it is believed that Shiva performs the cosmic dance (Ananda Tandava) during this time.

Lighting this specific diya during Pradhosham is considered highly meritorious, bringing blessings, prosperity, and liberation from sins.

Daily Shiva Worship (Pooja):

While specifically designed for Pradhosham, this diya can also be used for daily worship of Lord Shiva in a home altar or temple.

The presence of the Lingam and Nandi makes it a complete representation for Shiva devotees to offer prayers and light a lamp.

Symbolic Representation of Shiva's Presence:

The Lingam represents the formless, all-pervading reality of Lord Shiva.

Nandi is Shiva's devoted vehicle and a symbol of Dharma (righteousness) and devotion.

Lighting the lamp symbolizes the dispelling of darkness (ignorance) and the dawn of knowledge and spiritual light.
