Kerosene lamps were widely used from 1860 and were considered to be a safe alternative compared to other oil lamps used at the time.
Old Kerosene Lamps
Kerosene lamps were widely used in India, and continue to leave collectors mesmerized with their vintage charm. Of all the lamps used, these were commonly found around the country:
- Brass Kerosene Lamps
- Hurricane Lantern
- Chimney Lamps.
1. Brass Kerosene Lamps

Exquisitely handmade by Indian craftsmen, these radiant lamps adorned the homes of the affluent. The lamps feature a central, bulbous reservoir with a tapered top that accommodates a single wick.
2. Hurricane Lamp

Hurricane lamps were widely used in India owing to their sturdy design, portability and safety. Their very image inspires artists and creators worldwide, and their unique design continues to seep into modern day décor arrangements.
3. Chimney Lamps

A result of colonization in India, this type of kerosene lamps came in attractive stained glass and clear glass holders. Holding only a small amount of fuel, these lamps were restricted for use at home.
With their age only adding to their value, these lamps are sure to make for attractive additions to your home décor arrangements!

Ancient Madurai Thalampoo Kumkum is one of the best kumkums I’ve used. The dark red colour looks rich and traditional, and the natural thalampoo fragrance feels very pure and temple-like. The texture is soft, applies smoothly, and doesn’t irritate the skin. It’s far better than the usual synthetic kumkum. Only negative is the minimum 2-packet order, but the quality easily justifies it. Overall, a pure, authentic kumkum worth buying.
