Use of engraved pooja plates in Indian religious culture: Engraved pooja plates adorned with Annapakshi, Hamsa, Peacock, and other mythical/decorative motifs have deep roots in India's religious culture. Dating back centuries, these intricately designed plates hold symbolic significance in Hindu rituals and ceremonies. The Annapakshi, a celestial bird, is associated with abundance and prosperity, while the Hamsa represents purity and enlightenment. The graceful Peacock embodies spiritual awakening. These motifs, combined with decorative elements, serve as sacred vessels for offerings, enhancing the spiritual experience and embodying the rich tapestry of India's religious traditions.
