It was used by travelers to transport a big amount of oil, and it had a wick at the top to keep the oil burning for a longer period. This brass Kumbha Deepam is a reproduction of a traveler's light from a bygone age. These lamps are extremely unusual and are rarely used regularly.

Embrace Divine Radiance with the Kumba Deepam

Illuminate your sacred spaces and invite blessings with this exquisite Brass Kumba Deepam. More than just a lamp, this vessel is a symbol of prosperity, auspiciousness, and the divine feminine energy that permeates the universe. Crafted from lustrous brass, its elegant form echoes ancient traditions and spiritual significance, making it a cherished addition to any altar, home, or place of worship. The term "Kumba" itself evokes the Kalasha, a sacred pot brimming with auspicious offerings like water, mango leaves, and coconuts. In Hindu mythology, the Kalasha is believed to represent the source of life and creation, a vessel containing the nectar of immortality, Amrita. It is often invoked during pujas, weddings, and festivals to invite prosperity, abundance, and the blessings of deities. This Kumba Deepam carries that profound symbolism, intended to hold the sacred flame that dispels darkness and ushers in spiritual enlightenment.

A Beacon of Tradition and Serenity

The traditional shape of this deepam, reminiscent of a graceful pot, is expertly rendered in solid brass. Its surface is adorned with subtle, concentric bands, adding a touch of understated elegance and reflecting light with a warm, inviting glow. The accompanying lid, topped with a delicate finial, not only protects the flame but also enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a harmonious and complete design. The choice of brass, a metal revered for its purity and conductive properties, further amplifies the spiritual significance of this lamp. Brass is often associated with Surya, the Sun God, representing light, energy, and dispelling negative influences. In various cultural practices, lighting a deepam signifies welcoming guests, warding off evil spirits, and invoking prosperity. The flame itself is seen as a representation of divine consciousness, the omnipresent and all-knowing awareness that resides within all beings. Placing this Kumba Deepam in your home or puja room is a conscious act of inviting positive vibrations, fostering a sense of peace, and connecting with the divine on a deeper level. Imagine its gentle flicker casting a warm ambiance during your evening prayers or as a welcoming beacon during festive occasions.

An Enduring Symbol for Modern Devotion

This Brass Kumba Deepam is more than an artifact; it is a tangible link to ancient wisdom and spiritual practices. Its durable brass construction ensures it will be a treasured heirloom, passed down through generations, continuing to radiate its blessings. Whether used for daily puja rituals, special ceremonies, or simply as a beautiful decorative piece, it brings an aura of sanctity and tradition into your living space. Its presence serves as a constant reminder of the light within, the abundance of the universe, and the profound connection to the divine that awaits exploration. Invite this timeless symbol of prosperity and spiritual illumination into your life.

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.
