Usage & Historical Context
The kuber diya is named after Lord Kuber, the deity of wealth and prosperity. This plain version features a simple, deep bowl design used for lighting oil or ghee during Lakshmi pooja, Dhanteras, and Diwali. Traditionally found in North and West Indian homes, kuber diyas symbolize abundance and are often placed in the northeast corner of altars.

Benefits
Its deep cavity allows for longer burn time with minimal refilling. The plain design focuses on function and purity, making it versatile for daily and festive rituals. Made from solid brass, it’s sturdy and easy to maintain. It radiates warm light and spiritual significance, ideal for those who prefer a minimalist aesthetic with deep meaning.

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.
