Murugan Vel Vilakku

Prabanja’s “Murugan Peacock Deepak” is a traditional brass oil lamp that beautifully merges religious symbolism with intricate craftsmanship. This artifact is inspired by Lord Murugan (also known as Subramanya), a revered deity in South India, often depicted with a parrot—a symbol associated with his consort, Valli. The peacock signifies love, devotion and spiritual wisdom in Hindu mythology.

These Deepaks are typically handcrafted from pure brass, showcasing detailed designs that reflect the rich heritage of Indian metalwork. They come in various forms, including standing lamps and hanging versions, often adorned with bells and intricate carvings. The lamps vary in size and weight, catering to different preferences for home decor or temple use.

The use of brass not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also holds spiritual significance, as brass is considered a pure metal in Hindu rituals. Lighting a brass Deepak is believed to bring prosperity, ward off negative energies, and invite divine blessings into the space.

Whether used during festivals, religious ceremonies, or as a decorative piece, the Murugan Parrot Deepak serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional Indian artistry and devotion.
