A Beacon of Divine Grace: The Brass Peacock Diya

Illuminating your sacred spaces with celestial radiance, this exquisite brass oil lamp is a masterpiece of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Standing at an impressive height, it is designed to be a focal point of devotion and an embodiment of auspiciousness. The lamp's construction in pure brass lends it a timeless elegance and a substantial feel, promising years of faithful service in your spiritual practices.

The Majestic Peacock Motif

The crowning glory of this lamp is its magnificent peacock motif. In Indian culture, the peacock is far more than just a beautiful bird; it is a symbol of divinity, immortality, courage, and royalty. It is often associated with Lord Kartikeya, the Hindu god of war, and with Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge and arts, who is often depicted with a peacock feather in her crown. The peacock's resplendent plumage is believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. This lamp, adorned with this sacred bird, carries that symbolic weight, promising to fill your home with positive energy and divine blessings. The intricately detailed peacock perched atop the lamp appears ready to take flight, its elaborate crest and tail feathers a testament to the artisan's skill.

Artistry and Devotion

The entire structure of the lamp is a symphony of traditional motifs and skillful articulation. The central column is a series of beautifully crafted balusters and decorative elements, each section adding to the lamp's grandeur. The base is broad and stable, featuring intricate etchings that complement the design of the upper sections. The oil receptacle, with its multiple wicks, is designed to provide a steady and ample flame, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and ignorance. This lamp is not merely an object of utility; it is a work of art that enhances the ambiance of any puja room, meditation space, or living area. Its presence evokes a sense of peace, tranquility, and spiritual connection, making every moment of lighting it a deeply meaningful ritual. The warm glow emanating from the brass, coupled with the intricate detailing, creates a mesmerizing visual spectacle that speaks of ancient traditions and enduring faith.

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.
