Handcrafted with meticulous detail by skilled artisans in India, these figures are more than mere decorative pieces; they are embodiments of light, prosperity, and feminine grace. Each statue stands approximately nine inches tall, capturing the essence of the revered Deepalakshmi, a symbol of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, fortune, and beauty. The artistry evident in these figures is a testament to generations of Indian craft traditions. The warm, golden hue of the brass, meticulously polished, emanates a sense of timeless elegance. The flowing garments, adorned with intricate patterns, are rendered with remarkable fluidity, giving the impression of movement and life.

Their outstretched hands cradle a shallow bowl, designed to hold oil and a wick, ready to be ignited and fill your space with a warm, sacred glow.

Echoes of Mythology and Tradition

The Deepalakshmi holds a significant place in Hindu culture, particularly during festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights. Legend has it that Lakshmi, the divine consort of Lord Vishnu, visits homes that are well-lit and kept clean during this auspicious period, bestowing her blessings of prosperity and good fortune. These statues serve as a constant reminder of her benevolent presence and the importance of dispelling darkness with light, both literally and metaphorically. They are often placed at entrances to homes or in prayer rooms (puja rooms) to welcome guests and invite divine blessings. The act of lighting a lamp in front of these figures is a devotional practice, believed to invoke positive energy and ward off negativity.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship: Handmade in India

Each pair of these Deepalakshmi figures is a unique work of art, born from the passion and expertise of Indian craftspeople. Unlike mass-produced items, these statues carry the soul of their makers, their hands imbuing each detail with intention and care. The traditional methods employed in their creation ensure a level of authenticity and quality that speaks of a rich cultural heritage. The use of brass, a metal revered in India for its purity and durability, adds to the lasting value and spiritual significance of these pieces. Owning these Deepalakshmi statues means bringing a piece of India's artistic legacy and spiritual depth into your own living space, a timeless treasure that will continue to illuminate your home for years to come.

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.
