The body of this brass peacock lamp with the classic pattern of a Thattu Vilakku is intricately designed. It is composed of four layers: a "Keezhbagam" (base plate), a "kandam" (pivotal pillar), a "Thanguli" (a bowl with many grooves for holding wicks and oil for lighting), and a "Prabhai" (crown) on top. Each Thattu vilakku has a unique crown, such as an annapakshi (Swan), a peacock, a cross, a lion, a tiger, a plain nilavilaku crown, a sitting nandhi, garuda, or a Pavai.


The Kadam or Pillar is adorned with beautiful jaal motifs. At equal intervals, there are intricate geometric shapes such as a square and a ball. This lamp with five wicks combines the aristocratic theme of a peacock, which represents fortune, with the heavenly warmth of light, which eliminates bad energy. This lamp, in addition to being a fantastic choice for festive decorating, is capable of bringing in the benefits of the deities when lighted with devotion.

The Majestic Peacock Lamp: A Beacon of Divine Radiance

Elevate your sacred spaces and infuse them with an aura of divine presence and exquisite artistry with this magnificent Peacock Oil Lamp. Crafted from lustrous brass, this imposing lamp stands tall, a testament to the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship. Its design is inspired by the resplendent peacock, a creature revered in Indian mythology and culture, symbolizing grace, beauty, and immortality. In Hindu lore, the peacock is often associated with Lord Krishna, who adorns his crown with its feathers, and with Goddess Saraswati, the patron of arts and knowledge. The lamp’s upward-reaching form, culminating in the elegant depiction of a peacock, evokes a sense of aspiration and connection to the celestial. The intricate detailing of this lamp speaks volumes of the skill and dedication of its creators. From the textured base that provides stability and visual appeal, to the series of finely crafted ornamental bands that ascend its stem, every element is designed to capture and reflect light, creating a mesmerizing play of luminescence. The central section features an ornate panel, perhaps reminiscent of ancient architectural motifs or stylized floral patterns, adding depth and visual interest. This is more than just a lamp; it is a work of art, designed to be a focal point in any ritualistic setting or as a statement piece in your home. For millennia, the oil lamp, or "diya," has been an indispensable element in Indian traditions, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness, ignorance, and negativity, and the ushering in of knowledge, prosperity, and auspiciousness. Lighting such a lamp is an act of devotion, a way to invite divine blessings and to create a sacred atmosphere for prayer, meditation, or important ceremonies. The flame itself is often seen as a manifestation of the divine, a conduit for spiritual energy. This peacock lamp, with its regal form and symbolic significance, is particularly well-suited for enhancing the sanctity of puja rooms, meditation halls, or any area where spiritual reflection and devotion are paramount. Its substantial size ensures it commands attention, becoming a powerful symbol of enlightenment and divine grace.

A Legacy of Light and Symbolism

The peacock, with its dazzling plumage, has been a source of inspiration across cultures for centuries. In ancient Greece, it was the symbol of Hera, queen of the gods. However, in India, its connection is deeper, woven into the very fabric of spiritual and cultural life. The peacock's iridescent feathers are believed to hold spiritual energy, and its dance is seen as a prelude to rain, symbolizing renewal and fertility. Bringing this symbolism into your home through this brass oil lamp is an invitation to embrace these positive energies. The tradition of using brass for ritualistic items dates back to ancient times, as brass is considered a sattvic metal, believed to purify the atmosphere and attract positive vibrations. This lamp, therefore, is not merely a decorative item, but an object imbued with spiritual significance and a connection to ancestral practices. Its enduring material and timeless design ensure it will be a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, continuing to illuminate homes and hearts with its radiant glow and profound meaning.

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.
