The Brass Akhand Diya with Glass Globe is a self-feeding oil lamp for keeping an akhand jyot burning without constant refills. You fill the clear glass globe with up to 200 ml of oil, turn it onto the fluted brass pillar, and it feeds the wick cup beside it as the flame burns. It stands 18 cm tall on a scalloped brass tray, made for Navratri, Diwali and every long vigil in a home mandir.

Why a Reservoir Diya

An akhand jyot is a flame that is not allowed to go out - kept through the nine nights of Navratri, a family puja or a vow. With an ordinary diya, the hardest part is watching the oil level through the night. Here the globe holds the reserve and releases oil to the wick cup on its own, so the flame keeps its steady supply while you rest.

The wick cup carries its own small glass chimney, which shields the flame from the AC draft that most UAE homes live with.

How to Use It

1. Place a cotton wick in the wick cup and set the small glass chimney over it.
2. Fill the glass globe with oil, up to 200 ml.
3. Turn the globe onto the brass pillar - oil flows through to the wick cup.
4. Light the wick and use the adjuster to set a clean, steady flame.

Use oil rather than ghee. Ghee can set as the room cools and stop the flow to the wick. Keep the diya on a stable, level surface away from curtains, and never leave any open flame where children or pets can reach it.

For Homes Across the UAE

For families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman, the akhand jyot usually burns in a compact apartment mandir with the air conditioning running. A covered, self-feeding lamp suits that setting well: a steady flame, no dripping, and far fewer night-time top-ups. It also makes a thoughtful Grah Pravesh or Diwali gift for someone setting up their first mandir here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the glass globe feed the diya?

The globe works as an inverted reservoir. Once filled and turned onto the brass pillar, it lets oil through to the wick cup as the level there drops, so the flame keeps its supply without you refilling the cup by hand.

Can I use ghee in this akhand diya?

We recommend oil only. Ghee can thicken or set when the room cools, which can block the flow from the globe to the wick. Sesame oil, mustard oil or a good diya oil all work well.

Is it suitable for the nine nights of Navratri?

Yes, that is exactly what it is made for. The 200 ml reservoir means far fewer refills through the night. Check the oil level and trim the wick each morning and evening, as you would with any akhand jyot.

Are wicks included?

Yes, cotton wicks come in the box along with a steel wick adjuster. Any standard cotton wick that fits the wick cup can be used as a refill.

How big is it?

It stands 18 cm tall and 15 cm wide, on a base 11 cm in diameter. It fits comfortably in most home mandirs and on a pooja shelf.

How do I clean it?

Let it cool fully, then empty the globe and wash the glass in warm soapy water. Wipe the brass with a soft dry cloth; a little lemon and salt, or a brass cleaner, brings back the shine. Dry every part before refilling.

Is it a good gift?

It makes a meaningful gift for Diwali, Navratri or a Grah Pravesh, especially for someone keeping an akhand jyot for the first time. It arrives in a protective box.
