Brass has been a treasured metal in Indian tradition for centuries. Revered for its lustrous beauty, durability, and spiritual significance, it is widely used in pooja items, lamps, diyas, and ceremonial vessels.
At Shri Dhanlaxmi Metal Industries (DMI), this tradition continues through the DMI Brass Legacy, offering pure brass pooja items that combine devotion, cultural authenticity, and modern craftsmanship.
The Ancient Origins of Brass in India
Brass, an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), has a long-standing presence in Indian history. Archaeological evidence and temple records show its use in pooja utensils, lamps, bells, and samai.
Historically, brass was prized not only for its beauty and durability but also for its spiritual properties it was believed to retain positive energy and enhance sanctity during worship.
Traditional brass pooja items were meticulously crafted to balance aesthetics with spiritual symbolism, creating heirlooms passed down for generations.
Chemical Composition of Brass
Brass is primarily an alloy of:
- Copper (Cu): 55–95% – Provides ductility, corrosion resistance, and a warm golden color.
- Zinc (Zn): 5–45% – Adds strength, hardness, and malleability.
Other elements may be added in small amounts to produce different types of brass:
- Lead (Pb): Improves machinability
- Tin (Sn): Enhances corrosion resistance
- Iron (Fe) or Aluminum (Al): Increases strength for structural applications
The exact ratio of copper and zinc determines the hardness, color, and durability of the brass, making it ideal for pooja items that last decades.
Spiritual Significance of Brass Pooja Items
Brass is not just a durable alloy it is deeply intertwined with Hindu rituals:
- Brass Diyas & Deepams: Represent enlightenment and knowledge.
- Brass Ghanta (Bell): Invokes positive vibrations and removes negativity.
- Brass Samai & Kalash: Enhance sanctity during daily pooja and festive rituals.

The Chemical Process of Making Brass
Brass is manufactured through two main processes:
1. Melt Casting (Traditional & Modern)
- Copper and zinc are melted together in a furnace at around 900–940°C.
- The molten metal is stirred to ensure even mixing of the alloy.
- Impurities are removed via fluxing agents like borax or silica.
- The molten brass is poured into molds to form ingots or blanks, which are later shaped into pooja items.
2. Powder Metallurgy & Cold Working (For Precision Items)
- Brass powder is mixed with binders and compressed into molds.
- The compacted piece is sintered at high temperatures to fuse the particles.
- Cold working (hammering, rolling, or pressing) refines the shape and strengthens the metal.
3. Finishing & Polishing
- The cast or sintered brass is hand-polished or machine-polished to bring out its characteristic golden shine.
- Optional lacquer coating is applied to prevent tarnishing and maintain purity for sacred use.
These processes ensure that every brass pooja lamp, diya, or bell retains durability, purity, and spiritual sanctity.
