Description
The Brass Vishnu Vilakku is a traditional South Indian oil lamp, crafted with intricate details and deep spiritual significance. Made from high-quality brass, this lamp features an elegant depiction of Lord Vishnu standing gracefully, holding his divine symbols—the conch (shankha), discus (chakra), mace (gada), and lotus (padma). The Vilakku (lamp) is an essential part of Hindu rituals, symbolizing light, wisdom, and the dispelling of darkness and ignorance. It is widely used in temples, homes, and prayer rooms, especially during religious ceremonies, festivals like Deepavali, and Vishnu Sahasranama recitations. The Brass Vishnu Vilakku is a fine example of the exceptional craftsmanship of Indian metal artisans, particularly in regions like Tamil Nadu and Kerala, where traditional lamp-making has been practiced for generations. Over time, the brass develops a rich patina, enhancing its antique charm and sacred value. Devotees believe that lighting this lamp invites divine blessings, prosperity, and positive energy into their homes and surroundings.
PRODUCT CARE:To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Brass Vishnu Vilakku, regular care and proper cleaning are essential. After each use, wipe the lamp with a soft, dry cloth to remove oil and dust buildup. Since brass can tarnish when exposed to moisture, it is important to store the lamp in a dry place. To restore its shine, you can use natural brass polish or a homemade paste of lemon juice and salt, followed by rinsing and immediate drying. Cleaning off any leftover oil residue regularly will prevent stains and stickiness. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may damage the brass’s natural luster. To minimize oxidation, you can gently apply a thin layer of coconut oil or brass polish before storing. As brass is a soft metal, handle the lamp with care to prevent dents or deformities. Occasionally, drying it in sunlight helps retain its natural shine and removes excess moisture. With proper maintenance, the Brass Vishnu Vilakku will remain radiant and last for generations, preserving both its spiritual significance and aesthetic beauty.
