Usage & Historical Context
The ornate kuber diya is inspired by Lord Kuber, the deity of wealth. Used during Lakshmi pooja and Diwali, it’s placed at the altar to attract abundance and light. This style of diya is common in homes across India during the festive season.

Benefits
Deep and long-burning, it creates a sacred ambiance in pooja rooms. Crafted from pure brass, it is both symbolic and functional. Perfect for spiritual rituals, wealth invocation, or gifting during Diwali.

Brass products naturally oxidize and develop patina over time. With proper care, they retain their beauty and functionality for generations.

Daily Use Care
Wipe dry after use: After contact with water or food, gently dry with a soft cloth to avoid stains or spots.

Keep away from harsh chemicals: Avoid dishwashers, bleach, or abrasive soaps.

Use dry materials: If using for dry snacks, pooja samagri, or spices, ensure the brass is moisture-free.

Weekly or Occasional Cleaning
1. Natural Cleaning (Homemade Polish)
Lemon & Salt: Cut a lemon, sprinkle salt, rub gently, rinse and dry. Removes tarnish and revives shine.

Tamarind or Vinegar: Soak for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Besan & Curd: A traditional method—mix gram flour and curd, apply as a scrub, then rinse off.

2. Pitambari Powder (Recommended for Brass)
Apply a small amount of Pitambari powder with a damp cloth or sponge.

Rub gently in circular motions to clean and restore luster.

Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely.

Use gloves if you have sensitive skin.

Note: Pitambari is specifically designed for brass, copper, and bronze – safe, effective, and quick.

Tin-Lined Brass Care (e.g., Sipri, Handi, Kadhai)
Wash gently with mild soap and soft sponge—avoid lemon or salt on inner tin lining.

Re-tin (kalai) every 6–12 months if the lining wears out for safe food use.

Avoid acidic ingredients like tomato or tamarind if the lining is worn.

Storage Tips
Store in a dry place to prevent tarnish.

Wrap items in soft cloth or muslin if not used regularly.

For pooja brassware, store separately from kitchenware.
