Trimukha Deepams, or lights with three wicks, are said to provide children. They are lighted during Shanti Homa ceremonies. This brass lamp has three wicks at the end, which is typical of aarti lamps. It includes an intricate handle with a picture of a coiled vine, which was inspired by the ornamentation behind Hoysala temples' famed Salabhanjikas. Aside from these identifications, the lamp's main point is the picture of a Naga at the junction of the handle and the light. The Naga picture bestows the light with offspring and spiritual blessings. The two parrots assisting the image of Naga further solidify the concept of growth and fertility as parrots are the divine vehicle of Kama Deva. The brown and black hues make the lamp appear old.
