An attractive brass turtle diya used for traditional aarti with a beautifully carved handle.
Aarti involves the circulating of the 'Aarti lamp' around a deity. In doing so, the lamp is supposed to acquire the power of the deity. The lamp is circulated to all those present. They cup their down-turned hands over the flame and then raise their palms to their forehead - the purificatory blessing, passed from the deva's image to the flame, has now been passed to the devotee.
