Medium Brass Vel Vilakku – Sacred Om Deepam with Divine Vel Design

Bring the divine blessings of Lord Murugan into your home with this beautifully crafted medium-sized brass Vel Vilakku. This traditional oil diya combines the powerful symbolism of the sacred Vel (spear) with the primordial Om symbol in Tamil letters, creating a meaningful centerpiece for your daily prayers and special ceremonies.

Sacred Symbolism & Divine Protection

The Vel represents Lord Murugan’s divine weapon, symbolizing the power to destroy negativity, overcome obstacles, and attain spiritual victory. When combined with the sacred Om in Tamil script, this deepam becomes a potent spiritual tool that invokes divine grace and protection. Lighting this Om Deepam with Vel during your prayers is believed to bring courage, wisdom, and the blessings of Lord Subramanya to your household.

Exquisite Traditional Craftsmanship

Each medium Vel Vilakku is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans using premium quality brass. The ornate backplate features intricate detailing including the majestic peacock (Lord Murugan’s vahana), traditional geometric patterns, and fine filigree work characteristic of South Indian temple art. The generous oil reservoir is expertly designed for optimal oil flow, ensuring a steady, bright flame throughout your worship.

Perfect Size for Home Worship

This medium-sized vilakku strikes the ideal balance between presence and practicality:

• Length: 7.3 cm (2.87 inches)
• Width: 6.3 cm (2.48 inches)

Ideal for Every Sacred Occasion

This Oil Diya with Vel Om Tamil Letter design enhances:

• Daily morning and evening aarti ceremonies

• Karthikai Deepam, Diwali, Pongal, and Tamil festivals
• Skanda Sashti, Panguni Uthiram, and Murugan-specific celebrations

Traditional Usage & Care

For best results, fill the vilakku with traditional sesame oil (nallennai), ghee, or coconut oil. Place a cotton wick in the center depression and light during your prayers facing east or north according to Vastu principles. The brass develops a beautiful patina over time, but can be polished with tamarind paste or lemon and salt to restore its original luster.

More than just a decorative lamp, this medium Vel Vilakku serves as a daily reminder of Lord Murugan’s divine presence in your life. Its warm glow creates the perfect atmosphere for meditation, prayer, and spiritual contemplation, connecting you to centuries of Tamil devotional tradition while blessing your home with sacred energy.
