Crafted with immense devotion and skill in India, this lamp is more than just a source of light; it is an embodiment of prosperity, fortune, and abundance. The goddess, seated serenely on a lotus, is flanked by two majestic elephants, symbolizing her imperial power and showering of blessings. The intricate detailing, from the serene expression on her face to the delicate ornaments adorning her, speaks volumes of the artisanal heritage it represents.

Gajalakshmi: The Elephant Goddess of Fortune

In Hindu mythology, Goddess Lakshmi is revered as the deity of wealth, fortune, and auspiciousness. When depicted with elephants, she assumes the form of Gajalakshmi, a powerful aspect that draws parallels to the story of the churning of the cosmic ocean (Samudra Manthan). During this epic event, Lakshmi emerged from the sea, accompanied by divine elephants who showered her with water, signifying her supreme power to bestow prosperity. The presence of elephants signifies not only wealth but also strength, royalty, and wisdom. This diya, therefore, is a powerful emblem to invite these qualities into your home or place of worship. The symbolic array of lotus buds and decorative elements radiating from behind the goddess further amplifies the sense of blossoming prosperity and divine grace.

Handmade from solid brass, this diya carries the timeless allure of traditional Indian metalwork. The warmth and luster of brass are known for their auspicious properties in many cultures, believed to purify the environment and attract positive energies. Each curve and contour of this piece is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship passed down through generations. The substantial weight and elegant form of the diya suggest its durability and heirloom quality, making it a cherished addition to your puja room, meditation corner, or any space you wish to imbue with spiritual significance and aesthetic beauty.

Illuminating Your Path to Well-being

Lighting this diya is an act of reverence and a commitment to invoking divine blessings. Whether used during daily prayers, festivals like Diwali, or special occasions, the gentle flicker of the flame from this Gajalakshmi diya is said to dispel darkness, ignorance, and negativity, paving the way for clarity, wisdom, and material as well as spiritual well-being. It serves as a constant reminder of the Goddess's benevolent presence and her unwavering promise of abundance for her devotees. This diya is not merely an object of worship; it is an artifact designed to elevate your spiritual practice and enhance the harmony of your living space.

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.
