Prabhavali Meaning & Symbolism: The Sacred Halo Behind Hindu Deities
A prabhavali is the ornamental halo arch that encircles Hindu deities, symbolising light and cosmic energy. Emerging from early siraschakra halos, it became a key feature of temple art and bronze sculpture. The prabhavali frames the deity, amplifies its aura, supports ritual lighting, and shapes spiritual focus for devotees. Used in temples and homes, it is crafted in metal or wood to complement the murti.
