When a devotee's prayers are granted, he or she typically presents a light to the god in question, which is known as dev danam. A votive offering is shaped like a lamp. It is recommended to associate the lamp with some spiritual imagery to boost its auspiciousness and to complete the lamp's identification as a heavenly vehicle for transmitting prayers. This brass statue with a single lamp and a crown embellished with a peacock picture is said to be a perfect Dev Deepam. It is used not just as a sacrifice, but also to supply the deities with the warmth of a light. It is believed that lighting the Mayil Deepam or peacock lamp can bring the heavenly blessings of the god.
