Product details
Brass Tortoise Kuber Diya – Set of 2 is a pair of oil lamps where a textured, leaf-spouted bowl sits on a base shaped like a tortoise, complete with carved legs and a patterned shell. The lamp style is associated with Kuber, regarded in Hindu tradition as the god of wealth, while the tortoise base adds the stability and steady-growth symbolism linked with Vastu practice. Handcrafted in solid brass, it is lit during pooja and festivals, and its detailed base also makes it a piece worth displaying on its own. It works well as a symbolic Navratri or Diwali return gift for family, friends, and guests in India or abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions
•
What is a Kuber diya used for?
It is an oil lamp style associated with Kuber, the Hindu god of wealth, and is commonly lit during pooja, Diwali, and other prosperity-related rituals.
•
Why does this diya have a tortoise as its base instead of a plain stand?
The tortoise base adds Vastu symbolism linked with stability and steady growth, along with a decorative element beyond a plain pedestal.
•
Is this different from your Vastu Tortoise with Plate set?
Yes. That product is a tortoise figure on a flat plate. This one is a functional oil lamp, with the tortoise forming the base that the lamp bowl sits on.
•
Can this be lit with regular pooja oil and a cotton wick?
Yes. The leaf-spouted bowl is designed to hold oil and a wick, the same as a standard brass diya.
•
Should both lamps in the set be lit together, or can I use just one at a time?
Either works. Many customers light both together during pooja, though using one at a time is just as fine.
