Deepalakshmi is a traditional lamp with an image of a lady holding a Diya; it is also known as a Pavai diya or Vilaku Lakshmi. This style of Diya is claimed to have been very popular under the Pandya kingdom. These Diyas were meant to light the path to a temple or a particular god. The main element of the lamp is a standing lady holding a diya. She is represented in lavish clothes, signifying her position as a fortune-bringer. Her hairstyle, the breast belt, and the tribhanga posture signify that she is the carrier of the ancient iconography of celestial maidens. She is holding a modest Diya with a single wick. This Diya is typically purchased in pairs and is suitable for placing opposite a god picture. This brass Deeplakshmi is also unique because it is painted in the antique finish of brown and green patina, thus making it look like an item from the bygone era.
