Illuminating the Divine: The Three-Hooded Serpent Lamp

This exquisite 5" brass Shodash Upachara lamp, shaped like a majestic three-hooded serpent, is more than just a functional item; it's a captivating piece of art steeped in ancient Indian mythology and religious symbolism. The intricately detailed serpent, known as a Naga, is a powerful figure in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, representing both the life-giving waters and the potent forces of nature. Nagakanya, beautiful serpent maidens from Hindu folklore, often guarded sacred springs and treasures, their wisdom and power revered and respected. This lamp, with its five oil-burning spouts, embodies this ancient symbolism. Each light represents a different aspect of the divine, illuminating your space with a spiritual glow.

The Mythology of the Naga

In ancient Indian tales, the Naga is a serpentine deity, often depicted with multiple hoods, signifying wisdom and protection. They are associated with water sources, fertility, and the hidden energies of the earth. Nag Panchami, a major Hindu festival, celebrates these powerful beings, and offerings of milk and flowers are made to appease them. The Naga is both feared and revered, embodying the dualities of creation and destruction, life and death. This lamp allows you to bring the potent energy and protective nature of the Naga into your home. Its presence is a silent prayer, a whispered invocation to the powerful forces of nature.

A Lamp for Sacred Rituals

The Shodash Upachara lamp is traditionally used in Hindu rituals and puja ceremonies, where sixteen offerings are made to the deity. Lighting the lamp is an act of reverence, a way of inviting the divine presence into the sacred space. This beautifully crafted lamp, with its intricate detailing and sturdy construction, is perfect for your home altar or puja room. It is a sacred object, imbued with spiritual significance. The five spouts represent the five elements – earth, water, fire, air, and ether – bringing balance and harmony to your surroundings.

Craftsmanship and Elegance

Crafted from high-quality brass, this lamp is a testament to the skill and artistry of Indian artisans. The detailed craftsmanship brings the Naga to life, capturing its serpentine grace and majestic presence. The warm, golden hue of the brass adds to its ethereal beauty, enhancing any space it graces. The smooth finish and sturdy base ensure its durability and longevity, making it a cherished heirloom for generations. It is a perfect blend of function and artistry, a functional piece and a decorative masterpiece. The size is ideal for placement on any altar or shelf, and its compact form does not overwhelm the space.

More than just a lamp; a sacred heirloom

This brass Shodash Upachara lamp transcends its functional purpose as a light source. It serves as a powerful symbol of devotion, protection, and connection to ancient traditions. The intricate detailing and the representation of the three-headed Naga elevate this beyond a mere item; it’s a piece of living heritage. Own this piece of history and introduce a profound element of spiritual elegance to your home or sacred space.
