This Brass Vaishnava Lamp, traditionally known as a Nila Vilakku or columnar lamp, is a testament to the use of sacred symbolism and fine craftsmanship of ancient times. Blessed with the auspicious symbols of Urdhva Pundra (religious marking on Lord Vishnu’s forehead) at the center and two Panchajanyas or Shankas on both sides, this lamp exudes the divine glow. These symbols are associated with Lord Vishnu, and this lamp is undoubtedly a medium for sending prayers to the almighty and asking for his blessings in return.
The basic structure of this lamp consists of a single wick leaf-shaped oil container at the center, with the crown image of the Urdhva Pundra; two branches come out of the lamp that extends up to the conch and wheel symbols. Lighting this lamp is a way to pay reverence to the power and blessings of Lord Vishnu, the sustainer of the cosmos.
