The Radiant Peacock: A Symbol of Divinity and Light

Behold the magnificent Peacock Lamp, a testament to the artistry and spiritual depth of Indian craftsmanship. Standing tall and proud, this exquisite piece, forged from lustrous brass, is more than just a lamp; it is an embodiment of auspiciousness, beauty, and divine grace. Handcrafted by skilled artisans in India, its intricate details and commanding presence evoke a sense of reverence and awe, making it a truly exceptional addition to any sacred space or discerning collection.

The Peacock in Mythology and Tradition

The peacock, with its resplendent plumage and regal bearing, holds a place of profound significance across Indian culture and mythology. Revered as the celestial vehicle of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war and victory, the peacock symbolizes strength, courage, and the triumph of good over evil. Its vibrant, ever-present "eyes" on its train are often associated with protection, the warding off of negative energies, and the all-seeing nature of the divine. In Hinduism, the peacock feather is also intricately linked with Lord Krishna, who is often depicted adorning his crown with one. Thus, the presence of a peacock in a lamp signifies a blessing of divine protection, prosperity, and spiritual enlightenment.

A Masterpiece of Brass Artistry

This Annam Lamp is a breathtaking display of traditional metalwork. The brass, meticulously polished to a warm, inviting gleam, catches and reflects light beautifully. The base is broad and stable, adorned with classic Indian motifs, providing a solid foundation for the soaring structure above. Each section of the lamp is sculpted with remarkable precision, from the tiered central column, echoing the architectural grandeur of ancient temples, to the faceted central section that draws the eye with its geometric intricacy and finely etched patterns. The design culminates at the top with the majestic figure of a peacock, its head held high, its tail fanned out in a posture of eternal splendor. The lamp features multiple wick holders, suggesting its purpose in illuminating not just a physical space, but also the path of knowledge and spiritual understanding.

Enhancing Sacred and Domestic Spaces

The sheer scale and ornate beauty of this Peacock Lamp make it a captivating centerpiece. Whether placed in a temple, a puja room, or as a statement piece in a living area, it commands attention and imparts an aura of sacredness and refined elegance. The warm glow emanating from its wicks, once lit, will fill any room with a tranquil and inviting ambiance, fostering an atmosphere of peace and devotion. This lamp is an invitation to connect with ancient traditions and to welcome the auspicious presence of the divine 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.
