{"product_id":"kuber-diya-brass-pair","title":"Kuber Diya - Pure Brass Kubera Deepam for Dhanteras and Diwali (Pair, 8 cm)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"ds-product\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Divine Sansar Kuber Diya is a pair of pure brass oil lamps, 8 x 3 cm each, made for Kubera puja on Dhanteras, Diwali and every Thursday of the year. Each diya has a deep, polished bowl for ghee or til oil, a long spout that holds the wick steady and a hand-finished band of raised relief around the outside. You receive two diyas in a box, ready to light or to gift, delivered across the UAE.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is Kubera, and why light a Kuber Diya?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKubera is the treasurer of the devas and the guardian of the north. In Hindu tradition he is the keeper of wealth, while Maa Lakshmi is the one who blesses a home with it, which is why the two are so often worshipped together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Kuber Diya, known in the South as Kubera Deepam or Kubera Vilakku, is the lamp lit for that prayer. Families light it on Dhanteras and during Lakshmi Kubera puja on Diwali night, and many keep a weekly practice of lighting it on Thursday evenings. It is a small, steady act of gratitude for what the household already has and an intention for what it hopes to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo read more about Kubera Dev, his mantra and his puja at home, see our guide \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guide\/kubera-dev-god-of-wealth-mantra-worship-guide\"\u003eKubera Dev: The Hindu God of Wealth\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a pair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiyas are traditionally lit in pairs on either side of the deity, and a matched set keeps your mandir balanced.

The price is for a pair of Kuber Diyas, each 8 x 3 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen should I light a Kuber Diya?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost families light it on Dhanteras and during Lakshmi Kubera puja on Diwali. Thursday is also traditionally associated with Kubera, so many people light it every Thursday evening, and some add Fridays for Lakshmi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich oil is best for a Kuber Diya?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCow ghee is the most traditional choice for Kubera and Lakshmi puja. Sesame (til) oil is also widely used and burns longer. Both work well in this diya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhich direction should the diya face?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKubera is the guardian of the north, so many households keep the diya facing north or place it in the north side of the home. Facing it towards the deity in your mandir is equally common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does one filling burn?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on the oil and the wick length. A two-thirds fill with a single cotton wick typically lasts through an evening aarti and puja.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I give it as a Diwali or housewarming gift?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
