Sri Swaminathan & Co · Since 1973 · Sacred Trust
Handmade Brass Murugan Om Vel Vilakku
Big Size · 545 grams / 19.22 oz approximately | Small Size · 375 grams / 13.23 oz approximately
This sacred Murugan Om Vel vilakku is 100% purely handmade by Sri Swaminathan & Co, carrying our 53-year family shop legacy from Kumbakonam. This lamp is crafted specifically for devout Murugan devotees to use during intense boon-offering prayers, monthly Kiruthigai, and the auspicious days of Kanda Shashti fasting. The back frame perfectly shapes the holy Tamil "Om" letter with the divine Vel spear of Lord Kandhan running right through the center. Devotees believe that lighting this handmade deepam invokes the direct protective presence of Karthikeyan, clearing life's obstacles and bringing immense strength, peace, and success to the home.
Lord Murugan · A Light of Devotion
For devotees of Lord Murugan, also lovingly worshipped as Kandhan, Skanda and Karthikeyan, the Vel is a sacred reminder of courage, wisdom and the triumph of good. The Tamil Om and Vel come together in this lamp as a focus for quiet prayer and heartfelt devotion.
We stand behind our handmade quality with total honesty. The image displayed on this page is a 100% real photo of the actual product taken inside our shop setup. We do not use any computer graphics, artificial filters, or AI-altered designs. What you see is exactly the genuine, heavy brassware that will be safely packed from our Kumbakonam stock and delivered to your home.
The deepam is cast out of high-density solid brass metal and features two distinct variants: a substantial Big Size weighing approximately 545 grams / 19.22 oz and a compact Small Size weighing approximately 375 grams / 13.23 oz. Both options provide a very heavy and stable base that will not tip over on your temple shelves. The wide, deep front bowl holds an ample amount of ghee or oil, keeping your cotton wick burning steadily throughout your long evening aarti and festive prayers. Order immediately to secure your piece before the upcoming Kanda Shashti festival and take advantage of our special Shashti discount offer before it is gone!
The Auspicious Days of Shashti
Monthly Shashti is cherished by Murugan devotees as a time for prayer, remembrance and renewed devotion. The annual Kanda Shashti observance holds a special place in this tradition, honouring Lord Murugan's victory over Surapadman. Lighting a vilakku can be a simple, meaningful part of your family's worship, alongside prayers and customs followed in your home.
Observe Shashti according to your family or temple tradition. Spiritual blessings are matters of faith, not guaranteed outcomes of purchasing or lighting a lamp.

Care Instructions
Daily Maintenance

- Allow the lamp to cool completely before cleaning
Weekly Care
- Clean with a mixture of lemon juice and salt for natural brass shine

Long-term Preservation

- Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the antique finish
Oil Recommendations
- Use sesame oil, coconut oil, or traditional vilakku oil
- Fill only to the recommended level to prevent overflow
Safety note: Even a heavy lamp can tip or spill. Always place it on a stable, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface away from cloth, curtains, children and pets. Never leave a burning lamp unattended.
From Sri Swaminathan & Co - Authentic brass care ensures your Om Muruga Vel Vilakku remains beautiful for generations of devotion.
Care & Maintenance
Made from super fine quality brass with a golden powder coated polish — gives a satin gold glow like a gold statue. Purely for decor and dry display. If used for pooja rituals, the golden polish layer will peel off over time. Keep it dry — and it will look as fresh as the day you bought it. Always.
No restrictions for pooja rituals. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve its traditional antique look. The dark patina is intentional — it deepens the beauty over time.
Powerful. Preferred for active pooja rituals — no restrictions. Traditional Cleaning Method: Use dara liquid and cashew nut seeds — an ancient method used by temple priests for generations. Gently rub with cashew nut seeds dipped in dara liquid. Rinse clean. Your idol will look brand new. Cleaning once every 30 days is recommended if used regularly for pooja.
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand this completely. You are buying online from a shop you have never visited. Here is the truth: Sri Swaminathan & Co has been standing at 61, Bakthapuri Street, Kumbakonam since 1973 — over 53 years. We are not a warehouse or a reseller. We are a family shop, rooted in Kumbakonam, where priests, temples, and devotees from across Tamil Nadu have been coming for generations. Travellers from Singapore, Malaysia, UK, and USA visit us when they come to Kumbakonam — because they know us. You can walk into our shop any day. We are real.
Because most sites sell products. We sell legacy. Every item in our shop — whether it is a small brass lamp or a 4-foot Panchaloha idol — comes from craftsmen whose families have been doing this since the Chola period. We do not source from factories. We do not compromise on material or finish to reduce price. When you buy from us, you are not just getting a product — you are getting 53 years of trust, traditional craftsmanship, and the assurance that what you receive is exactly what a devotee deserves.
This is a fair concern and we respect it. Here is why we do not offer COD — our products are handcrafted, fragile, and carefully packed for safe delivery. COD returns damage both the product and the trust. Instead, we offer something better: WhatsApp us before you order. We will send you a video of the actual product — the exact piece you will receive. You can ask us anything. Only when you are fully satisfied, you pay. Our 53-year reputation is our guarantee — we cannot afford to let even one customer down.
Not at all — and we are glad you asked this. Our products are made of brass and Panchaloha — metals that naturally catch and reflect light from every angle. What you see as dark shades or bright reflections in photos is simply the metal doing what metal does — glowing, reflecting, and shining. We photograph every product as-is, with no filters, no AI, no editing. That reflection you see in the photo? You will see the same beautiful glow when it sits in your pooja room. It is not a defect — it is the character of real metal.
Yes — and here is why we say this with full confidence. Panchaloha idols require the right alloy, the right casting method, and the right finishing — done by craftsmen who understand the spiritual significance of what they are making. Our Panchaloha idols are hand-cast in Kumbakonam and Swamimalai by hereditary artisans using the traditional lost-wax method — the same method used to make idols for consecrated temples across South India. Priests trust our idols for temple installation. Families trust us for home pooja rooms. In 53 years, that trust has never been broken.
