This brass Parrot Oil Lamp is a tribute to the mastery of Hoysala-style craftsmen. The major feature of the lamp was an elaborate parrot perched on a branch, inspired by the temples of Halebidu and Belur. The artwork is coated in a classic brass color, and the core container is shaped traditionally with a single wick. The lotus foundation beneath the lamp adds a new layer to the design, combining the spiritual positivism of the lotus flower with that of the parrot. The reflection of light on the parrots makes this sculpture a beautiful sight to see at festivals or special occasions.

Echoes of Divinity: The Brass Parrot Diya

Illuminate your sacred spaces and infuse them with an aura of ancient wisdom and divine grace with this exquisite Brass Parrot Oil Diya. Crafted from lustrous brass, this piece is more than just a lamp; it's a testament to artisanal skill and a conduit for spiritual energy. The intricate design features a majestic parrot, its form elegantly sculpted to appear poised and vigilant, its gaze seemingly fixed on the ethereal flame it is destined to hold. The parrot, in many Eastern traditions, symbolizes communication, wisdom, and the power of the spoken word. It is often associated with Lord Krishna, who is sometimes depicted with a peacock feather in his crown, and with the vibrant colors and joyous spirit of nature. The diya itself is designed with a graceful, flowing form, reminiscent of a celestial arc. The base, intricately detailed with floral motifs, provides a stable and beautiful foundation, evoking the sacred lotus, a symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and divine beauty in Hinduism and Buddhism. The craftsmanship is evident in every curve and detail, from the delicate rendering of the parrot's feathers to the precisely etched patterns on the base.

A Vessel of Light and Auspiciousness

The act of lighting a diya is a deeply symbolic ritual, signifying the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. In Hindu traditions, diyas are lit during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, and other auspicious occasions. The warm, flickering glow of an oil lamp is believed to purify the atmosphere, dispel negative energies, and invite positive vibrations into the home. This brass diya, with its auspicious parrot motif, is particularly well-suited for puja rooms, meditation spaces, or as a decorative centerpiece that radiates serenity and spiritual depth. The enduring nature of brass ensures that this lamp will be a cherished item for generations, carrying with it the blessings and intentions of those who light it.

Artistry Rooted in Tradition

This handcrafted brass diya embodies the rich heritage of Indian metalwork. The art of brass casting and intricate detailing has been passed down through generations, with artisans employing time-honored techniques to create pieces of enduring beauty and spiritual significance. The lustrous finish of the brass enhances the sculpted form, giving the parrot a lifelike quality and the overall piece an air of regal elegance. Whether used for daily rituals or special ceremonies, this Brass Parrot Oil Diya serves as a beautiful reminder of the profound connection between art, spirituality, and the timeless pursuit of inner peace. It is a perfect addition for those who seek to blend aesthetic beauty with spiritual practice in their living spaces.

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.
