Brass Plain Swing

The brass empty swing, often called a “Jhula” or “Hindola,” is a common and meaningful item in Indian households, especially for those who practice Hinduism. While it may look like a decorative piece, its usage is deeply rooted in religious and cultural traditions.

• For Lord Krishna (Janmashtami): The swing is most famously used during the festival of Janmashtami, which celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna. A small idol of a baby Krishna (Laddu Gopal) is placed on the swing and gently rocked by devotees as a symbol of love, care, and devotion. This ritual, called “Jhulan Yatra,” commemorates the swings on which Krishna and Radha used to play.
• For Other Deities: While most associated with Krishna, these swings can also be used for idols of other deities like Lord Ganesha, especially during festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi. The act of placing a god on the swing and rocking it is a gesture of reverence and affection.
• Symbolism: The empty swing symbolizes an invitation for the divine to take a seat. It represents a devotee’s readiness to welcome the god into their home and heart. The act of gently swinging the deity is a way of honoring and pampering them, much like a parent would rock a child.
