This Nila Vilakku has a straightforward design of an 8-inch stem attached to a five-wick oil basin, looking like a bloomed lotus. A disc-shaped base is attached to the branch, an apparatus for collecting excess oil dripping from the wicks. There is a lotus bud-like crown at the center of the oil basin, very typical for these kinds of Nila Vilakkus, popularly known as Kathakali Vilakkus due to their use in the traditional lighting during the Kathakali ritual theatre performance.
