Lotus-Engraved Pooja Thali
Eleven-inch 925 silver thali with a hand-engraved lotus rim, fitted with kumkum and akshat katoris, a small ghanti, and a chandan dabbi. Sized for a family of four.
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 BIS-hallmarked 999 or 925 silver, hand-finished in our Delhi NCR studio.
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 coin on the puja thali is the city's lamp and the ocean's gift, compressed into one small disc you can close in your hand.
Diwali is literally the row — avali — of lamps. Silver diyas hold ghee that burns clean and long; the metal cools by morning to be wiped, blessed, set aside for next year.
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 first diya is placed on the rangoli at the doorway. A silver diya there announces intent: this house is awake, this house is ready.

Hand-pressed 999 silver coin with Lakshmi and Ganesh seated side by side on the obverse, lotus mandala on the reverse. Available 10g to 50g, ships in a velvet pouch.
Five graduated silver diyas, each with a weighted base and scalloped rim. Sized to line a doorway or rangoli border. Food-safe silver-plated brass, polished by hand.
Cast in 999 silver using the lost-wax method. Lakshmi on her lotus, Ganesh with his modak, each four inches tall. Hand-finished with a soft patina that deepens over time.
For corporate diwali orders we standardise on 20g or 25g coins. Family gifts cluster around 50g. Heirloom buyers go straight to 100g and above. Quotes lock for 14 days; weights are net silver.

The oil bath at dawn. Cleanse silver pieces with raw milk and turmeric water. Lay out the thali on red cloth: kumkum, akshat, durva grass, fresh lotus.
Draw the rangoli at the threshold. Burn dhoop in every room until the smell settles. Place silver diyas around the murti, unfilled, to charge in the afternoon sun.
Fill silver diyas with ghee. The first lamp lights at the rangoli, the second at the safe or cash drawer, the rest along window sills and the staircase rail.
Place Lakshmi-Ganesh murti on the thali. Offer silver coins, lotus, sweets. 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 coin. There are forty-six now. The youngest grandchild learnt to count by polishing them.”
Let silver diyas cool fully before cleaning. Wipe with a soft cotton cloth to lift the ghee. A single drop of mild soap on a microfibre, then a dry buff, restores shine without abrasion.
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.
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.
Diwali falls on Monday, 9 November 2026 (Lakshmi Pujan night). Our order cutoff for guaranteed Delhi NCR delivery is 27 October. Pan-India orders should be placed by 20 October to allow for insured courier transit.
A 999 silver Lakshmi coin remains the most traditional diwali silver gift, followed by a hand-engraved pooja thali set, a pair of silver diyas, and a Lakshmi-Ganesh jodi murti. For corporate gifting, a coin set in a velvet box paired with handmade chocolates is the standard choice.
Every 999 fine-silver coin ships with the BIS hallmark stamped by an assaying centre, alongside a Nazarana certificate stating net weight, purity, and the day's IBJA spot price. 925 sterling pieces carry the standard sterling mark.
