Ghee Diya – Sacred Lamp for Puja, Aarti & Religious Rituals

#Trademark Class 21 – Complete Guide for Applicants

Trademark Class 21 under the NICE Classification covers household utensils, kitchenware, containers, glassware, earthenware, and religious-use articles made of metal, brass, clay, ceramic, or similar materials.

Ghee Diya is a traditional oil lamp used in Hindu puja, aarti, temples, festivals, havan, and daily worship. It is lit using ghee (clarified butter) and symbolizes light, purity, prosperity, and the victory of knowledge over darkness.

Since Ghee Diya is a physical household/religious article (lamp/utensil) and not a consumable, it is correctly classified under Trademark Class 21.

If your business manufactures or sells Ghee Diyas for religious or ritual purposes, your brand must be registered under Class 21 for trademark protection.

This class is essential for puja samagri brands, homeware manufacturers, temple suppliers, brassware makers, and religious utensil companies.
