A Symphony of Light and Myth: The Brass Peacock Lamp

This exquisite brass lamp, a testament to India's rich artistic heritage, is more than just a source of light; it's a captivating sculpture that embodies spirituality, beauty, and ancient lore. Standing tall and elegant, its design is inspired by the majestic peacock, a creature revered across various cultures for its opulence, immortality, and divine associations. In Hindu mythology, the peacock is often depicted as the mount of Lord Kartikeya, the god of war and victory, and is also linked to Goddess Saraswati, the patron of arts and knowledge. Its iridescent feathers are said to represent a thousand eyes, symbolizing omnipresence and vigilance. This lamp, therefore, carries within its form the blessings of protection, prosperity, and auspiciousness.

Craftsmanship That Tells a Story

The intricate detailing of this lamp showcases the mastery of brass casting, a tradition that has been honed over centuries in India. From the delicately rendered feathers of the peacock that crowns the lamp, its crest held high in eternal watch, to the ornate base that anchors this creation, every element speaks of skilled hands and a deep understanding of form. The central stem, adorned with subtle carvings, rises to support multiple diyas, each poised to cast a warm and inviting glow. The lower tier features a cluster of smaller bowls, reminiscent of a blooming lotus, a sacred symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and beauty. The polished brass surface catches and reflects light, creating a mesmerizing dance of shadows and illumination, enhancing the lamp's already regal presence.

A Beacon of Tradition and Spirituality

This lamp, often referred to as an "Annam Lamp" in some regional traditions, is designed to be a centerpiece for any sacred space or a striking decorative accent in your home. Its multiple wick holders allow for a continuous and abundant flow of light, making it ideal for festivals, religious ceremonies, or simply to create an atmosphere of serenity and devotion. In ancient India, lamps were an integral part of daily rituals, used to dispel darkness and invite divine presence. The act of lighting a lamp was considered an offering, a way to honor deities and seek blessings. This lamp, with its symbolic peacock, amplifies this sentiment, bringing the divine energy of nature and mythology into your living space. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of light to illuminate not only our surroundings but also our inner selves, guiding us towards wisdom and enlightenment.

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.
