Deepalakshmi are statues of maidens holding a lamp with a parrot perching on their shoulders. These statues are lamps used for lighting the way to the Garbhagriha of a temple since time immemorial. There are records of Deepalskhmis being an integral part of temple decorations of very important worship places. This unique Deepalskhmi made of brass depicts a maiden sitting and holding out a lamp. A parrot is sitting on her shoulder, probably her best confidant. Lighting this lamp is a way to respect the ancient traditions of offering the warmth of the lamp to the deities and also respecting Deepalakshmi who is believed to be the connection between humans and the almighty.
