This BHAKTI AKHAND DIYA is a special, continuously burning oil lamp used in Hindu rituals, signifying unbroken divine presence and spiritual wisdom. It features a non-return valve and continuous oil feeding system for uninterrupted burning, a Borosilicate glass chimney for protection, and a wicking mechanism for adjustable flame, often made from brass. The lamp symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, embodying knowledge, truth, and continuous blessings. Key Features and FunctionalityContinuous Burning: The Akhand Diya is designed to burn for extended periods, sometimes several days on a single filling, through a scientific system of oil and wick management. Non-Return Valve: This valve prevents excess oil from spilling out of the container and ensures a consistent supply to the wick, maintaining the flame. Continuous Oil Feeding System: The design allows for refilling the oil without extinguishing the lamp, ensuring its unbroken, "Akhand" (unbroken) nature. Glass Chimney: A Borosilicate glass chimney protects the flame from drafts, preventing it from being extinguished and allowing for safe continuous burning. Adjustable Wick Mechanism: Many Akhand Diyas include a knob or lever to adjust the wick, providing precise flame control and eliminating the need to touch the wick directly. Symbolism and SignificanceDivine Presence: The eternal flame symbolizes the continuous presence of divine energy, representing the unchanging nature of God. Light and Knowledge: In Hinduism, light is a metaphor for knowledge, truth, and wisdom. The Akhand Diya signifies the removal of ignorance and the arrival of enlightenment. Good Over Evil: The triumph of light over darkness is a powerful symbol, particularly prominent during festivals like Diwali. Continuous Blessings: The unbroken flame also represents the continuous flow of divine blessings in a household or temple.
