A Puja Thali, also known as an Aarti plate, is a traditional and decorative essential in Hindu households, specifically designed for religious ceremonies and rituals. Typically made of metal or brass, these thalis are adorned with intricate carvings, engravings, or embellishments that reflect the rich cultural and religious heritage. The thali usually includes compartments to hold various items like incense sticks, a small diya (lamp), flowers, vermillion (kumkum), rice, and other offerings used during prayers and worship. Puja thalis not only serve a functional purpose in facilitating religious practices but also contribute to the aesthetic appeal of the home, adding a touch of spirituality and elegance to the overall decor. The decorative elements on the thali often symbolize auspiciousness and invoke a sacred atmosphere during religious ceremonies.
