Use of engraved pooja plates in Indian religious culture: Engraved pooja plates featuring Annapakshi, Hamsa, Peacock, and other traditional motifs have been part of Hindu rituals for centuries. These designs are not just decorative but carry symbolic meanings. The Annapakshi, a mythical bird, represents abundance and prosperity, while the Hamsa signifies purity and wisdom. The Peacock is associated with spiritual awakening. These plates, often made of brass, copper, or silver, are used to hold offerings during prayers and ceremonies, playing a functional and symbolic role in religious practices across India.
