Brass Annam Diya Fancy Set of 2 | Swan Lamp

About the Product

Brass Annam Diya Fancy – Set of 2 is a pair of decorative oil lamps shaped like the annam, the mythical swan often linked with grace and purity in Indian tradition. Each lamp has a detailed bird figure with a fanned, feather-like tail, set above a scalloped oil tray and mounted on a carved pedestal base. Handcrafted in solid brass, it is lit during pooja and festivals, and its ornamental design also makes it a striking piece to display on a shelf or entrance table. It works well as a symbolic Navratri or Diwali return gift for family, friends, and guests in India or abroad.
