Premium Brass 6-Faceted Karthigai Deepam Lamp with Detachable Vel

19 centimetres tall · Six Fixed Agal Cups · Detachable Vel · 340 grams Total Assembly Weight

Authentic Material Purity

• Premium Solid Brass Composition — The entire lamp assembly is cast from 100% pure, heavy-gauge solid brass with zero hollow points or cheap gold spray-paint fillers. It delivers excellent durability and an exceptionally long life built to handle high daily heat cycles during auspicious festivals.

Intricate Design Highlights

• Six-Faceted Star Geometry — The lower layout features six individual agal vilakku cups permanently fixed in a beautiful circular star pattern wrapping completely around the center pillar. Each individual diya features chiseled diamond relief borders along the outer rim to catch light and cast a brilliant golden mirror luster.
• Smart Detachable Vel Spear — The center core features an elevated vertical pillar topped by a masterfully sculpted Vel (Divine Spear) bearing sacred Vibhuti horizontal three-line markings and a center tilak. A key engineering highlight of this design is that only the Vel spear can be dismantled, allowing you to smoothly separate the top section for swift ritual cleaning, detailed polishing, and flexible altar styling.

Multipurpose Ritual Utility

• Auspicious Karthigai Deepam Lighting — This unique 6-wick layout is explicitly tailored for celebrating Murugan auspicious days like Karthigai Deepam, Skanda Shashti, Thaipusam, and monthly Krittika Nakshatra steps. Lighting all six spouts simultaneously channels an intense wave of spiritual clarity directly onto your altar.
• Pointed Spout Wick Holders — Every single oil basin is engineered with a pointed pouring spout to lock your cotton oil wicks perfectly straight in place, preventing them from drowning or shifting inside the 20ml oil wells to ensure a clean, steady, and smoke-free continuous burn.

Compact Space Compatibility

• Apt for Household Altars — With a well-proportioned height of 19 cm, this space-saving setup fits perfectly flush onto standard household temple steps, office prayer shelves, or entryway display trays, bringing authentic traditional interior looks wherever it sits.

Auspicious Gifting Choice

• The Ultimate Devotional Token — A magnificent, highly useful option for traditional return gifts and premium presentation favors during milestone family weddings, housewarming ceremonies (Grihapravesam), and major festivals, leaving a lasting memory your guests will value lifelong.

Short Notes: Spiritual Protection & Puranic Symbolism

• The Mystery of the Six Sparks (Shanmukha) — In the Skanda Purana, Lord Murugan was born as six divine sparks from the third eye of Lord Shiva, which manifested as six radiant babies in the sacred Saravana Poigai lake, eventually joined by Goddess Parvati into one magnificent form with six faces (Shanmukha). Lighting these six fixed agal diyas honors that cosmic event, functioning as a high-vibration anchor to dissolve deep domestic negativity and protect the family threshold from hidden vulnerabilities.
• The Shield of the Divine Vel — The central standing Vel represents Jnana Sakti—the supreme weapon of pure cosmic wisdom. By elevating the Vel at the heart of the fiery flame circle, it acts as a defensive antenna that clears running obstacles, dissolves hidden anxieties, and brings the ultimate offering of Murugan's protective blessing directly into your lifestyle path.

Altar & Interior Size Specifications

Standard Altar Scale (340 grams Total Assembly Weight)

Imperial equivalents are rounded. Total height is measured from the base rim to the top apex tip of the Vel spear. The detachable Vel measurement refers to the separate spear shaft profile. Total structure length is the span across opposite spout tips.

Best placement: Primary home temple centerpiece, central pooja steps during Shashti festivals, or distributed as upscale family tokens.

Effortless Everyday Upkeep

• Simple Maintenance Guidelines — It is exceptionally easy to maintain and requires no hard scrubbing or abrasive washing. Thanks to the smart disassemble architecture of the center spear, simply unscrew the Vel shaft and perform a gentle wipe down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after regular daily oil usage. Avoid using scratchy steel sponges or highly abrasive cleaning powders like Sabeena or Pitambari, keeping the fine lines of the Vibhuti markings perfectly secure for centuries of clean durability.

“Six flames gathered in devotion, one Vel pointing towards wisdom.”
