The peacocks are dancing and singing in different places. They are also lying on treetops with their large plumage falling. The peacocks appear to have begun a musical symphony in the woodland.

 

This verse from Valmiki Ramayan describes the beautiful ambiance created by the dancing of peacocks. The birds have been respected and represented in many art forms from the land of Bharata. This nine-wick peacock lamp is one of the finest uses of the graceful motifs of peacocks in art. The brass lamp comes with an attached lid with a graceful peacock motif situated atop. The lamp basins have nine crisp wicks. When the lid is closed it only covers the oil basin and the wicks remain exposed to spread the holy light. The lamp also has beautifully ornated stands looking like coiled vines. This lamp is at the peak of artistry and ritualistic objectification. Lighting this lamp brings grace, beauty, and blessings to a space.

An Emblem of Auspicious Light and Divine Grace

This exquisite brass lamp is more than just a source of illumination; it is a testament to India's rich artistic heritage and deep-rooted spiritual traditions. Crafted from lustrous brass, this multi-wick lamp is designed to bring warmth, positivity, and a touch of divine radiance into your sacred spaces. Its intricate details and symbolic representation make it a cherished item for rituals, puja ceremonies, and as a beautiful decorative centerpiece.

The Majestic Peacock: A Symbol of Divinity and Beauty

Crowning this remarkable lamp is the majestic peacock, a bird revered across Indian mythology and culture. In Hinduism, the peacock is intrinsically linked to Lord Kartikeya, the god of war, victory, and wisdom, whom it famously rides as his vahana (mount). Its resplendent plumage symbolizes beauty, auspiciousness, and the dispelling of darkness. The peacock is also associated with Goddess Saraswati, the embodiment of knowledge and art, and Lord Krishna, who wears a peacock feather in his crown. The presence of the peacock on this lamp imbues it with a sense of divine protection, grace, and the triumph of light over ignorance. The meticulous carving of each feather, the proud posture, and the regal bearing of the bird are all rendered with exceptional skill by master artisans, capturing its ethereal beauty in solid brass.

Intricate Craftsmanship for Sacred Spaces

The base of the lamp itself is a work of art. The domed structure, adorned with delicate embossed patterns, evokes the grandeur of traditional temple architecture. The nine wicks, arranged in a circular fashion, are designed to provide a steady and abundant glow, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness in all directions. The lamp is supported by ornate legs, each intricately carved with flowing lines and auspicious motifs, adding to its stability and aesthetic appeal. The overall design speaks of a profound understanding of form and function, creating an object that is both spiritually significant and visually captivating. This brass peacock lamp is ideal for your home altar, meditation room, or any space where you seek to create an atmosphere of peace, devotion, and positive energy. Its warm metallic sheen and the soft, flickering light it emits can transform an ordinary setting into a sanctuary of spiritual reflection and beauty. It makes for a thoughtful and meaningful gift for loved ones, especially during festivals and special occasions, offering them a piece of India's enduring artistic and spiritual legacy.

A Radiant Legacy in Brass

The use of brass in religious artifacts dates back centuries in India. Known for its durability, malleability, and inherent purity, brass is considered a sacred metal, often used in the creation of deities, temple furnishings, and ritualistic objects. This lamp, crafted from high-quality brass, is not only an object of beauty but also a symbol of longevity and enduring spiritual practice. Its rich golden hue is believed to enhance the auspiciousness of any ritual.

The Power of Light: Understanding the Role of Oil Lamps in

Hinduism Hinduism is a boon to human society for it guides everyone to follow their Dharma and rise above the material concept of life. Hinduism is also known as “Sanatan Dharma”. These are Sanskrit terms in which Sanatan means “eternal” and Dharma means “Intrinsic nature or occupation”. Thus it deals with the intrinsic nature or the real identity of the living entities; that which can never be taken away from them. The principles of Hinduism are given in the Vedic literature or scriptures that are considered “Apaurusheya”; they have not been written by any ordinary person but have been compiled by Vyasadev, the literary incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna. The word “Veda” means complete knowledge, both material and spiritual. The knowledge in Vedic literature is so vast and precise that if one looks carefully, he will notice that nothing is sentimental or imaginary but is based on facts and truth. There is a clear description and information about the identity of all living beings, the nature of the Absolute Truth, the reason for the existence of this world, the information about the world beyond this universe, and the relationship between us and God, the Absolute Truth.

Why do we light a lamp?

There are many rituals recommended in the Vedas for engaging our body and mind in the service of God. One of them is the lighting of ghee or oil lamps before the deity. According to the Vedic injunctions, all auspicious functions begin with lighting a lamp. It has a great spiritual significance. It is believed that the light of the lamp symbolizes “knowledge”, the wick symbolizes the false ego of the living entity, and ghee (clarified butter) or oil symbolizes all the negative tendencies (Anarthas) accumulated in the heart such as greed, lust, anger, and envy. When the lamp is lit by spiritual knowledge, all the Anarthas are exhausted, and the false ego, which is the root cause of conditional life, is also burnt. Therefore, the lamp is lit before the Lord as a sacrifice of our false ego in His service. Just as the light of the lamp dissipates all darkness, similarly, the light of knowledge dissipates ignorance of the Jivas and enables us to realize our real identity and purpose of life.

Why only an oil or ghee lamp?

One may question why only an oil lamp is lit before the Lord and why not an artificial light source. This may sound logical but lighting a lamp has a further spiritual significance. The flame of the light in a lamp always burns upwards indicating that by cultivating spiritual knowledge, one achieves the highest perfection of life and is always victorious. Also, a traditional lamp is the purest form of offering.
Image
In almost every house of a follower of Sanatan Dharma, an oil or ghee lamp is lit before the altar of the Lord or before the Tulsi plant. Some people light it at dawn, some at dusk, and some people prefer to light it at dawn and dusk. Either ghee or sesame oil can be used to burn the wick. Vaishnavas (devotees of Lord Vishnu or Krishna) especially light a ghee lamp every day in the month of Kartik to offer their love and devotion to the Lord.
