The Radiant Peacock of Divine Light

This exquisite hanging lamp, crafted from lustrous brass, is more than just a source of illumination; it is a testament to artistry and spiritual devotion. The intricate design, featuring the regal peacock, evokes a sense of grace, beauty, and auspiciousness that resonates deeply within Indian culture. The peacock, revered across various traditions, is often associated with divine beauty, immortality, and even the god of war, Kartikeya. Its resplendent plumage and captivating presence have inspired artists for millennia, and this lamp captures that essence in gleaming metal.

A Symphony of Light and Symbolism

The lamp is designed with six wicks, each poised to hold a flame that will dance and flicker, dispelling darkness and inviting prosperity. The presence of multiple wicks symbolizes the amplification of divine blessings and the spreading of knowledge and spiritual awakening. Hanging suspended by a sturdy brass chain, the lamp casts its warm glow downwards, illuminating the sacred space below. The delicate filigree work adorning the upper portion of the lamp adds a touch of ethereal elegance, reminiscent of the celestial motifs often found in traditional Indian temple architecture.

Cultural Significance and Ritualistic Purpose

In Hindu tradition, the diya or oil lamp holds immense significance. It represents knowledge overcoming ignorance, goodness over evil, and hope over despair. Lighting a lamp is an integral part of almost every puja (worship) and festival, signifying the presence of the divine and the purification of the environment. This particular lamp, with its majestic peacock motif, is believed to bring good fortune, protection, and a heightened spiritual aura to any home or place of worship. The peacock is also the national bird of India, symbolizing the country's rich heritage and cultural pride.

Craftsmanship of Enduring Beauty

The solid brass construction ensures durability and a timeless appeal. Brass, known for its warmth and its ability to age gracefully, develops a beautiful patina over time, adding to its character and historical depth. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in every curve and detail of this lamp speaks volumes about the skill of the artisans who brought this piece to life. Whether suspended in a prayer room, a living space, or a grand hall, this lamp serves as a striking focal point, infusing the surroundings with an ambiance of divine radiance and timeless elegance. It is a piece that connects the present with the enduring traditions of the past, offering not just light, but also a connection to the spiritual heart of India.

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.
