Crafted with meticulous detail by skilled artisans, this statuette embodies the essence of auspiciousness and illumination, traditionally associated with the Deeplakshmi, the lamp-bearing goddess.

The elephant itself is adorned with intricate carvings, reflecting the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. ––––––––––

A Divine Presence for Your Home

Deeplakshmi is often revered as a manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. Her presence is believed to dispel darkness, both literal and metaphorical, inviting blessings and positive energy into any space. The traditional depiction of Deeplakshmi holding a lamp signifies the dispelling of ignorance and the illumination of knowledge. The inclusion of a small bird, possibly a parrot or a pigeon, in her other hand can be interpreted in various ways. In Hindu mythology, parrots are often associated with love, prosperity, and the ability to carry messages, while pigeons symbolize peace and purity. Together, they add another layer of symbolic richness to this already captivating piece. ––––––––––

Artistry Rooted in Tradition

Handmade in India, this statuette is cast in durable brass, a material revered for its beauty and longevity. The warm, golden hue of the brass lends an aura of divinity and antiquity to the piece. Each detail, from the delicate jewelry adorning the figure to the finely etched patterns on the elephant's trappings, speaks to the artisan's dedication and skill. This is not merely an object but a piece of art that carries stories, beliefs, and centuries of cultural evolution. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of faith and the artistry that brings these beliefs to life. Place it in your living room, puja room, or as a captivating centerpiece to infuse your surroundings with a sense of sacredness and timeless elegance.

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.
