A gorgeous dia (lamp) arrangement. Traditional, one that resembles a temple framework. On either side are two ‘pillars’, which in themselves may qualify as independent lamp-stands. A flat ‘roof’ from the zenith of one to that of the other, along the length of which dangles lamps equidistant from each other.


The traditional lamp-stand that you see on this page features fourteen lamp-trays in total: five along each pillar and four dangling from the roof. Each tray comprises five continuous lamps. Beneath the ones that dangle is a miniscule, chandelier-like silhouette that accentuates the temple-esque appeal of the structure.


This lamp-stand would look great with all the lamps lit up and your favourite deity poised underneath. You may choose a pedestal or a seat for your favourite deity to sit or stand on from our vast collection of chowkis and stools of varying designs and aesthetics.

A Beacon of Divine Light and Cultural Heritage

This magnificent brass lamp is a testament to the enduring traditions of Indian ritual and spiritual practice. Its commanding presence, standing at 19 inches tall, is amplified by its dual-stand design, offering a symmetrical grandeur that draws the eye and elevates any sacred space. Crafted from high-quality brass, this lamp is not merely an object of utility but a piece of art, imbued with the warmth and luster that only this revered metal can provide.

Symbolism and Spiritual Significance

In Hinduism, the lamp, or 'diya', holds profound symbolic meaning. It represents the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical, and the triumph of knowledge and consciousness over ignorance. The flame is often seen as a divine presence, a representation of Agni, the Vedic god of fire, who is considered a messenger between humans and the divine. Lighting a diya is an integral part of puja (worship) and various festivals, signifying auspiciousness, prosperity, and the presence of the divine. This particular lamp, with its multiple wicks, suggests an abundance of light and blessings, capable of illuminating a larger area and invoking a more powerful spiritual aura.

Craftsmanship and Artistic Detail

The craftsmanship of this lamp is evident in every detail. The sturdy base provides stability, while the elegantly designed stem rises upwards, culminating in a beautifully sculpted horizontal bar from which the individual lamps hang. Each of the seven hanging lamps showcases intricate patterns and a conical base, reflecting a meticulous attention to detail that is characteristic of traditional Indian metalwork. The warm, golden hue of the brass lends an inherent richness and sacredness to the piece, making it a focal point for devotion and contemplation.

A Legacy of Illumination

From the ancient Vedic rituals to contemporary celebrations, lamps have played a pivotal role in Indian culture. They are central to festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, where millions of diyas are lit to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The act of lighting a lamp is also a gesture of respect and reverence for deities, ancestors, and guests. This dual-stand, multi-wick lamp evokes the grandeur of temple lighting and the opulence of royal traditions, bringing a piece of that historical and spiritual richness into your home or place of worship. Its substantial size and the sheer number of lights it can hold make it ideal for significant ceremonies or as a permanent fixture in a puja room, mandap, or any space dedicated to spiritual reflection and cultural appreciation. It stands as a beacon, not just of light, but of a deeply rooted heritage.

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.
