An Emblem of Divine Light and Beauty

Invite the radiant glow of tradition and spirituality into your home with this exquisite brass hanging wick lamp. Crafted with meticulous detail, this lamp is more than just a source of light; it's a symbol of auspiciousness and divine grace, featuring the majestic peacock, a creature revered across various cultures and mythologies. The lustrous brass lends an aura of opulence and permanence, ensuring this piece will be a cherished part of your decor for years to come.

The Sacred Peacock: A Symbol of Many Blessings

In Hinduism, the peacock is often associated with Lord Kartikeya (Murugan), the god of war, and is depicted as his divine vahana (mount). Its vibrant plumage is seen as a manifestation of divine beauty and power. The peacock is also considered the national bird of India, symbolizing grace, pride, and strength. In many traditions, it is believed that the peacock's cry can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. The presence of the peacock in this lamp evokes a sense of protection and blessings, making it an ideal addition to any spiritual or ritualistic space. Furthermore, the peacock's connection to Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and arts, adds another layer of significance, suggesting enlightenment and creative inspiration.

A Symphony of Light and Craftsmanship

This hanging lamp is designed to be a statement piece, its intricate brass work commanding attention. The central motif of the peacock, with its gracefully arched neck and fanned tail, is beautifully rendered. Suspended from a sturdy, intricately linked brass chain, the lamp features multiple wick holders, allowing for a soft, ambient glow to emanate from several points. The base is adorned with decorative carvings, further enhancing its artisanal appeal. This lamp is not merely functional; it's a work of art that brings a touch of timeless elegance and spiritual depth to any setting. Imagine it gracing your prayer room, illuminating your entryway, or adding a touch of refined charm to your living space. The warm glow from the wicks, combined with the rich brass, creates an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, reminiscent of ancient rituals and timeless celebrations.

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.
