Nepalese lamps form a unique part of the traditional ritual lamps in Southeast Asian cultures. With their unique ornamentation and refined details, the metal lamps of Nepal are pieces of art and offerings to the divine. A case in point is this brass lamp, adorned by the icon of goddess Saraswati, who removes the darkness of ignorance and spreads the light of wisdom in her devotees.
The lamp is a beautiful object, with an inverted lotus base, followed by a pot and a patterned cylindrical element, ending in a blooming lotus that becomes the vessel or the diya (lamp) in which the sacred light is to be lit.
The presiding deity of the ritual lamp, goddess Saraswati appears in her four-armed form, wearing regal attire with a graceful braid, which has been meticulously depicted in the miniature icon. The tranquility of her countenance and its ethereal beauty infuses the lamp with a light of its own.
