When illuminated, the numerous wicks will create an image of Goddess Lakshmi adored by multiple stars. As it is ignited, this lamp becomes a conduit between the physical and spiritual realms, bearing the image of the Goddess loved by Munis, exalted by Vedas, and the bestower of Moksha.

Embrace Prosperity and Divine Light

Invite the blessings of abundance, good fortune, and radiant light into your home with this exquisite brass deity centerpiece. Skillfully handcrafted in India, this piece embodies the grace and divine presence of Goddess Lakshmi, the revered Hindu deity of wealth, prosperity, and auspiciousness. The intricate detailing and the warm, lustrous glow of the brass bring an aura of sacredness and timeless beauty to any space. Goddess Lakshmi is often depicted as a benevolent figure who bestows material and spiritual wealth. In Hindu mythology, it is said that she emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan) and is the consort of Lord Vishnu, the preserver of the universe. Her presence is believed to bring prosperity, success, and well-being to her devotees. The multiple diyas (oil lamps) encircling the deity are symbolic of dispelling darkness and ushering in enlightenment and good fortune, mirroring the radiant glow she brings into the lives of those who invoke her blessings.

A Testament to Artisanal Craftsmanship

This stunning piece is more than just a decorative item; it is a work of art, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in India. Each element, from the serene expression on Lakshmi's face to the delicate curves of the ornate backdrop, is a testament to generations of inherited craftsmanship. The brass material itself has been revered for centuries in India, not only for its durability and aesthetic appeal but also for its perceived spiritual properties. The detailed carving of the peacocks adorning the archway and the mythical creatures at the base are classic motifs found in Indian temple art, symbolizing beauty, grace, and protection.

Symbolism and Sacred Ritual

The presence of multiple diyas around the Goddess is deeply symbolic. During festivals like Diwali, the Festival of Lights, homes are illuminated with countless diyas to welcome Lakshmi and bid farewell to darkness and negativity. This centerpiece recreates that sacred ambiance, offering a focal point for prayer, meditation, and celebration. It is perfect for your home altar, puja room, or as a magnificent decorative accent in your living space, bringing a touch of divinity and a warm, inviting glow. The arrangement of the diyas represents the unfolding of prosperity in all directions, ensuring that blessings reach every corner of your life. This piece serves as a constant reminder of the divine feminine energy and the continuous flow of abundance.

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.
