A Symbol of Grace and Divine Light

This exquisite handmade brass lamp is a testament to the artistry and spiritual depth of Indian craftsmanship. At its heart stands a magnificent peacock, its tail fanned out in a display of vibrant elegance. The peacock, known as "Mayura" in Sanskrit, holds a significant place in Hindu mythology. It is often associated with the god Kartikeya, the commander of the celestial armies, and is believed to symbolize immortality, victory, and majesty. Lord Krishna, the beloved deity, is also depicted wearing a peacock feather in his crown, signifying his divine beauty and divine protection. The intricate detailing on the peacock's form, from the delicate scales of its body to the flowing lines of its majestic tail, speaks of the artisan's dedication and skill.

Illuminating Tradition

This lamp is designed to hold five individual wicks, allowing for a broader and more captivating diffusion of light. In many Indian traditions, lighting lamps ("diyas") is a sacred ritual, especially during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights. The flickering flames are believed to dispel darkness, both literal and metaphorical, ushering in prosperity, knowledge, and auspiciousness. The five wicks in this lamp can symbolize the five elements of nature – earth, water, fire, air, and ether – or represent the five senses, invoking a holistic sense of balance and harmony. The lamp's brass construction not only lends it a timeless aesthetic but also signifies purity and durability, qualities highly valued in ritualistic objects.

An Emblem of Auspiciousness

Beyond its functional and devotional purpose, this peacock lamp serves as a striking decorative piece. The graceful posture of the peacock, its head turned as if surveying its surroundings, adds an element of serene beauty to any space. The intricately carved base, with its classical motifs, further enhances its regal appeal. Placing this lamp in your home or sacred space can invite an aura of peace, prosperity, and divine grace. It is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage and the enduring power of light and spirituality that has illuminated lives for centuries. This lamp is more than just an object; it is a vessel of tradition, a symbol of beauty, and a beacon of spiritual significance.

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.
