A Symphony of Light and Tradition

This magnificent brass lamp is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of South India, a region where craft and spirituality intertwine seamlessly. Its intricate design and generous proportions make it a striking centerpiece, capable of illuminating any space with a warm, inviting glow and a touch of timeless elegance. Crafted from durable brass, it promises to be a cherished heirloom, passed down through generations, each flicker of its lamps carrying stories and blessings. ––––––––––––––––––

The Majestic Peacock Motif

At the apex of this elaborate structure stands a finely detailed brass peacock, its proud form a symbol of beauty, grace, and royalty. In Indian mythology, the peacock is deeply revered, often associated with deities like Lord Krishna, who wears a peacock feather in his crown, symbolizing divine love and cosmic consciousness. It is also seen as the vehicle of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war, representing victory and power. The inclusion of this majestic bird is not merely decorative; it imbues the lamp with auspiciousness and a sense of divine presence, transforming it from a mere object into a sacred adornment. The seventeen smaller lamps that cascade downwards, each suspended with delicate chains, further amplify this sense of abundance and festivity. ––––––––––––––––––

A Legacy of Light and Devotion

The tradition of oil lamps, or 'diyas', holds profound significance in Hindu culture. They are lit during festivals, pujas (worship ceremonies), and auspicious occasions to symbolize the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. The use of brass for these lamps is also traditional, valued for its purity and believed to possess purifying qualities. This multi-tiered lamp, with its numerous oil reservoirs, is designed to create a dazzling spectacle of light, reminiscent of the grand temple lamps that have illuminated sacred spaces for centuries. Its presence evokes the spirit of devotion, celebration, and the auspicious beginnings that light signifies. It’s more than just a lamp; it’s an invitation to embrace tradition, celebrate beauty, and invite prosperity into your home.

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.
