A Glimpse of Divine Radiance

This exquisite brass lamp, designed to hang gracefully from the ceiling, is more than just a source of light; it is a symbol of auspiciousness and traditional artistry. Crafted from durable brass, it embodies the timeless elegance of South Indian metalwork, bringing a touch of sacred beauty into your home. The intricate design, featuring a majestic peacock, adds a layer of cultural significance, transforming this functional item into a piece of decorative art.

The Peacock: Symbol of Divinity and Auspiciousness

The peacock, in many cultures, particularly within India, holds a place of profound reverence. It is often associated with deities like Lord Krishna, who adorns his crown with its feathers, and Goddess Saraswati, the patron of arts and knowledge. The peacock's vibrant plumage and majestic bearing are seen as metaphors for beauty, grace, and immortality. Its presence on this lamp evokes a sense of divine blessing and positive energy, making it an ideal addition to spaces dedicated to prayer, meditation, or serene contemplation. In ancient Indian lore, the peacock is also believed to ward off evil spirits and bring prosperity, further enhancing its auspicious qualities.

Craftsmanship from the South

Hailing from South India, a region renowned for its rich heritage of brass craftsmanship, this lamp is a testament to the skill and dedication of its artisans. The meticulous detailing on the peacock, from its crested head to its fanned tail, showcases a level of precision passed down through generations. The lamp itself, with its multiple wicks, is designed to cast a warm, inviting glow, reminiscent of the traditional "diya" lamps used in festivals and daily rituals. The sturdy brass chain ensures it can be safely suspended, adding an element of vertical grandeur to any room.

Illuminate Your Space with Tradition

This hanging lamp is perfect for enhancing the ambiance of your puja room, living area, or any space where you seek to infuse warmth and spiritual grace. It serves as a beautiful reminder of ancestral traditions and the enduring power of light to dispel darkness. Whether lit for a special occasion or as part of your daily routine, this peacock lamp promises to be a captivating focal point, radiating both light and cultural significance. Its classic design makes it a versatile piece that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors, offering a unique blend of heritage and aesthetic appeal.

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.
