In Kerala, the traditional hanging oil lamps are called Thooku Vilakku. They are hung on the verandah, in the Pooja room, or as a piece of home décor in houses. The hanging lamps provide light to the surface above the land. During Poorams, these lamps are extensively used to decorate the temples and create a divine ambiance. One of the most auspicious lights used in rituals is the Lakshmi hanging lamp. The picture of Goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of riches and prosperity, is situated in the center of the oil basin and is encircled by peacock feathers.

When the light is illuminated from the front, the center picture becomes the focal point, showing an enlightened image of the Goddess. The lamp has five wicks and is supported by a strong chain and a hook at the end all exuding the charming matt finish of brass. With all of these distinct characteristics, this lamp is magnificent and ideally suited to illuminating a ceremonial setting.

Illuminating Blessings: The Five Wick Lakshmi Puja Lamp

Elevate your spiritual practice and invite auspiciousness into your home with this exquisite brass puja lamp. Handcrafted with meticulous detail in India, this lamp is more than just a source of light; it is a conduit for divine blessings and a testament to traditional artistry. The lustrous brass, known for its purity and ability to resonate with sacred energies, has been expertly shaped into an ornate design that commands attention.

Embodiment of Divine Grace

At the heart of this lamp resides a beautifully sculpted idol of Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu deity of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. She is depicted in her characteristic seated posture, radiating serenity and abundance. Her four arms symbolize her multifaceted powers, bestowing blessings of material and spiritual wealth. This representation draws from the ancient lore where Lakshmi emerged from the churning of the cosmic ocean, bringing forth beauty and prosperity to the world. The intricate detailing on her attire and adornments speaks to the skill of the artisan, making this piece a true work of art.

A Symphony of Light and Symbolism

The lamp features five wicks, a significant number in Hindu tradition. The number five often represents the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether), the five senses, or the five stages of life. By lighting five wicks, one invokes a comprehensive form of divine presence and seeks blessings across all aspects of life. The overall design of the lamp, suspended by a sturdy brass chain, is meant to be hung from the ceiling, allowing the light to radiate downwards, symbolizing the descent of divine grace and prosperity from above. The decorative frame surrounding the deity is elaborately designed, echoing traditional architectural motifs and adding to the lamp's aesthetic grandeur. This is not merely a decorative item but a functional piece of sacred art, designed to enhance the ambiance of any puja room or meditation space.

A Legacy of Craftsmanship

This lamp is a product of India's rich heritage of brass metalwork, a craft passed down through generations. Each lamp is individually handmade, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This artisanal approach imbues the lamp with a unique character and a sense of soulful creation. The use of brass signifies not only durability but also its sacred properties in many Indian traditions. Owning this lamp is like bringing a piece of India's artistic soul and spiritual devotion into your personal sanctuary. Let its warm glow fill your space and your heart with peace, prosperity, and divine favor.

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.
