According to Hindu writings, the Shankha or Panchajanya possesses the power of sound, which may both create and destroy. This brass lamp in Hoysala style, with a Panchajanya crown pattern, is an homage to the Sankha's boundless vitality. This lamp has a large oil basin and a single wick in the shape of a raised platform. These wicks are used to control the amount of oil soaked by the cotton wick. It also has three constructed legs that serve as stands to help balance the light. Worshippers of Lord Vishnu believe that lighting this lamp would generate divine energy, attracting and benefiting the Lord.

An Emblem of Auspiciousness and Divine Presence

This exquisite lamp is more than just a source of light; it is a meticulously crafted symbol of spiritual significance, drawing inspiration from ancient traditions and sacred iconography. The central motif, a beautifully rendered Shankha, or conch shell, is a potent emblem in Hinduism, particularly revered by Vaishnavas, devotees of Lord Vishnu. The conch shell is believed to have been used by Lord Vishnu himself in his cosmic activities, and its sound is considered to be the primordial sound of creation, Om. Its swirling spiral pattern is said to represent the ever-unfolding universe and the divine flow of energy.

A Testament to Artisan Craftsmanship

Handmade in India, this lamp is a celebration of traditional metalworking artistry. Skilled artisans have painstakingly shaped and finished the brass to achieve a superfine quality, evident in every detail. The intricate carvings that adorn the base and the delicate detailing on the conch's decorative elements speak to a deep understanding of form and artistic expression. The warm, lustrous sheen of the brass enhances the divine aura of the piece, making it a captivating addition to any sacred space or personal altar.

Invoke Blessings and Serenity

The lighting of a lamp, or Diya, is an integral part of Hindu rituals and daily worship. It symbolizes the dispelling of darkness, both literal and metaphorical, and the invocation of divine light, knowledge, and auspiciousness. This conch wick lamp, with its powerful symbolism, is designed to enhance the spiritual ambiance of your home or meditation space. Imagine the gentle flicker of a flame within this beautiful vessel, casting a warm glow as you offer prayers, engage in meditation, or simply seek a moment of peaceful reflection. The conch shell's inherent connection to divine sound further amplifies its power to bring tranquility and positive energy.

An Enduring Legacy

Crafted from durable brass, this lamp is built to last, becoming a cherished heirloom for generations to come. Its timeless design and profound spiritual connection make it an ideal gift for any occasion, whether it's a housewarming, a religious ceremony, or a gesture of love and well wishes. Embrace the purity and divine resonance of this superfine conch wick lamp, and let its light illuminate your path with blessings and serenity. The ornate footed base provides stability and an elevated presence, ensuring this sacred object is displayed with the reverence it deserves.

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.
