An Emblem of Radiance and Divine Support

This exquisite brass lamp is a testament to masterful craftsmanship and a rich cultural heritage. It embodies the majestic beauty of the peacock, a creature deeply interwoven with mythology and spirituality, gracefully supported by feminine figures, symbolizing strength, nurturing, and divine feminine power. The intricate detailing etched into the brass speaks volumes of the artisan's dedication and skill, creating a piece that is both a functional lamp and a captivating work of art.

The Peacock: A Symbol of Beauty and Immortality

The peacock, with its iridescent plumage and proud bearing, has been revered across many cultures, most notably in ancient India. In Hindu mythology, the peacock is the mount of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war, and is also associated with the goddess Saraswati, the patron of arts, music, and knowledge. The bird's spectacular train is said to represent the cosmos, with its eyes symbolizing the stars. Its presence is often linked to prosperity, good fortune, and the vanquishing of evil. This lamp captures the essence of the peacock in its full glory, its fanned tail a cascade of delicate patterns, its form captured with lifelike precision. The vibrant shimmer of brass further enhances its regal appeal, making it a truly awe-inspiring piece.

The Pillars of Strength: Divine Feminine Energy

Beneath the radiant peacock, the lamp is held aloft by three elegantly sculpted feminine figures. These figures, depicted in poses of strength and grace, are more than mere structural elements; they are symbolic representations of the divine feminine – the nurturing, life-giving, and supportive forces that underpin existence. Their stoic stance and serene expressions evoke a sense of unwavering resilience and profound power. In many ancient traditions, women were venerated as goddesses and as embodiments of the earth's fertility and creative energy. This artistic choice elevates the lamp from a simple object to a profound statement about the interconnectedness of beauty, power, and sustenance, suggesting that even the most dazzling displays of brilliance are ultimately supported by foundational strength.

A Testament to Timeless Craftsmanship

Crafted from high-quality brass, this lamp possesses a timeless appeal. The warm, golden hue of the metal, achieved through meticulous polishing and finishing, exudes an aura of luxury and sophistication. The detailed carvings, from the individual feathers of the peacock to the adornments on the feminine figures, showcase the painstaking efforts of skilled artisans. This piece is not merely decorative; it is a functional lamp designed to cast a warm, inviting glow, creating an ambiance of peace and spirituality in any space. Whether placed in a puja room, a living area, or a meditation space, it serves as a constant reminder of beauty, divinity, and the enduring power of tradition. Its substantial feel and intricate design make it a cherished heirloom, destined to be admired for generations to come.

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.
