A sturdy, stone-finish brass lamp to uplift the aura of your poojana-kaksha. Featuring five wicks, protruding from a continuous lamp tray. Rising from the centre of the lamp tray is a peacock flaunting its plumage, an integral aesthetic element in traditional Indian lamp sculptures.

The stem of the lamp is stylised; not perfectly symmetrical. It is as if emerging from the mouth of a lion on all fours. Its tail is swishing about in the air as an expression of ferocity. It is interesting to note that a lamp should incorporate elements of wrath in its aesthetics.

The lamp is a dark, washed out colour. Back with overtones of dark green. The etchings that define the peacock plumage and the anatomy of the lion, as well as on the base of the lamp, are a paler colour that accentuates its ominous mood.

A Radiant Symbol of Auspiciousness

Elevate your spiritual space with this exquisite brass lamp, a masterpiece of devotional art. Crafted from lustrous brass, this lamp is designed to be a focal point of beauty and a conduit for divine illumination. Its intricate details speak of a rich heritage, where every element carries symbolic meaning.

The Majestic Peacock and the Guardian Lion

Atop the lamp, a gracefully rendered peacock stands in all its glory. In Hindu mythology, the peacock is often associated with royalty, divinity, and the deity Kartikeya, the god of war. Its vibrant plumage and proud bearing are believed to ward off evil spirits and bestow good fortune. The peacock's presence atop this lamp signifies auspiciousness and a connection to higher realms. The lamp's sturdy base is formed by a powerful, regal lion. The lion, or 'Simha', is a potent symbol of strength, courage, and protection. It is often depicted as the mount of various deities, including Durga, the fierce warrior goddess. The lion's watchful gaze and powerful stance suggest a guardian spirit, safeguarding the sanctity of the space and the rituals performed within it. Together, the peacock and the lion create a harmonious blend of beauty and power, a testament to the artistry and devotion infused in its creation.

Illuminating Tradition

This lamp features five wick holders, allowing for a more profound and encompassing illumination. In many traditions, the number five holds significance, representing the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, space) or the five senses. The gentle glow from these five wicks, when lit, can transform an ordinary space into a sacred sanctuary. The lamp's design, with its broad, petal-like structure supporting the wicks, is reminiscent of traditional 'Diya' lamps, which are central to countless festivals and daily prayers across India, most notably during Diwali, the festival of lights. The deep, rich patina of the brass further enhances its timeless appeal, suggesting an heirloom quality passed down through generations. This lamp is more than just a source of light; it is an invitation to connect with tradition, to embrace the symbolic, and to invite blessings into your home.

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.

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.
