Diwali silver gifts. Light that lasts in metal.
Five nights, one festival of light. For Lakshmi Pujan, for the family thali, for the corporate hamper that lands on a hundred desks — every piece is silver-plated and hand-finished in our Delhi NCR studio.
Why silver, on the night of lamps.
The Ramayana ends in light: when Ram returns to Ayodhya after fourteen years, the city lights a lamp at every doorstep. The Puranas add a second layer — Lakshmi rose from the same churned ocean as Dhanvantari, the ocean that turned silver under the moon. Diwali holds both stories at once. A silver piece on the puja thaal is the city's lamp and the ocean's gift, a promise of abundance you can hold in your hand.
The lamp
Diwali is literally the row — avali — of lamps. Silver candle holders hold the flame that burns clean and long; the metal cools by morning to be wiped, blessed, set aside for next year.
The goddess
On Amavasya night the goddess of abundance is said to enter homes lit from within. Silver is her metal — cool, reflective, the mirror in which she sees herself welcomed.
The threshold
The first light is placed on the rangoli at the doorway. A silver candle holder there announces intent: this house is awake, this house is ready.
Four pieces for the night of lamps.
Shraddha Puja Thaal
A silver-plated puja thaal from our religious collection. The anchor piece for your Diwali ritual — place idols, flowers and offerings on it. Hand-polished in our Delhi NCR studio.
Ganesha Shankh with Stand
Silver-plated Ganesha from the statement pieces. A centrepiece for the Diwali mandir shelf, hand-finished with detail that deepens in lamplight.
Elephant Duo T Light
A pair of elephant-motif tea-light holders in silver-plated brass. Sized to line a doorway or rangoli border. Hand-polished, made to glow through the night of lamps.
Tirupati Balaji Idol
Silver-plated Lakshmi Ji from the statement range. Placed on the puja thaal on Diwali night to welcome abundance. Hand-finished with a soft patina that deepens over time.
Pieces for every Diwali setting.
For corporate Diwali orders we recommend the Musical Ganeshas or a statement piece. Family gifts centre on candle holders and idols. Quotes lock for 14 days from confirmation.

From abhyangasnan to aarti.
Abhyangasnan
The oil bath at dawn. Cleanse silver pieces with raw milk and turmeric water. Lay out the puja thaal on red cloth with akshat, durva grass, and fresh lotus.
Rangoli & dhoop
Draw the rangoli at the threshold. Burn dhoop in every room until the smell settles. Place silver candle holders around the idol, unfilled, to catch the afternoon sun.
Diya lighting
Light candles in the silver holders. The first lamp lights at the rangoli, the second at the safe or cash drawer, the rest along window sills and the staircase rail.
Lakshmi Pujan
Place the silver idols on the puja thaal. Offer lotus, sweets and flowers. Chant the Lakshmi Ashtottara, then the Ganesh stuti. Distribute prasad and gifts after aarti.
“The silver thali in our house is older than my marriage. My mother-in-law handed it to me on my first Diwali in 1978. Every year we add a new piece. There are forty-six now. The youngest grandchild learnt to count by polishing them.”
Keeping the thali bright.
After the candles
Let silver candle holders cool fully before cleaning. Wipe with a soft cotton cloth to lift any wax residue. A single drop of mild soap on a microfibre, then a dry buff, restores shine without abrasion.
Storing for next year
Wrap each piece in acid-free tissue. Stack in an airtight container with two silica sachets. Avoid newspaper — the inks tarnish silver. Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from camphor.
What to avoid
Never let silver sit overnight in oil or wax residue. Avoid contact with sindoor, perfume and lemon. Don't wash in a chlorinated dishwasher cycle. Steel wool will scratch the surface permanently.
