Sri Swaminathan & Co
Brass Shanku Chakra Standing Vishnu Kuthu Vilakku
Solid Cast Brass  ·  High-Antique Polish  ·  25 cm Standing Height  ·  1.4 kg

This magnificent Shanku Chakra Standing Kuthu Vilakku brings the pure, protective energy of Lord Vishnu directly into your home prayer mandir. The backframe of each lamp is exquisitely detailed — one variant features the sacred Shanku (Conch) while the other holds the divine Chakra (Discus). Built as a heavy, traditional South Indian standing kuthu vilakku with a thick ribbed stem and wide tiered pedestal base, it carries a high-gloss mirror finish that reflects the warm flame beautifully — a lifetime spiritual centrepiece for daily rituals.

📌 Important Note
All listed dimensions, weights, and prices are strictly for a single lamp (1 piece). You may choose the Shanku or Chakra model individually, or purchase both to complete a matching altar pair for your home temple.

Puranic Significance & Vastu Benefits
  • The Ultimate Altar Shield for Vaishnavites — This standing lamp carries immense spiritual power for devotees of Lord Vishnu, Perumal, Hari, and Lord Venkateswara (Balaji). The Shanku represents cosmic sound, infinite abundance, and the presence of Maha Lakshmi. The Chakra signifies the eternal wheel of time and destruction of negative family obstacles.
  • Special Calendar Days for Worship — Carries exceptional merit when lit during the holy Tamil month of Purattasi, on all Saturdays, Ekadashi fasting days, and major festival nights such as Vaikunta Ekadashi and Diwali Lakshmi Pooja.
  • Solid Lifelong Endurance — Poured from premium-grade heavy solid cast brass. Weighs approximately 1.400 kg per piece for its 25 cm height. Will never crack, warp, or tip under intense heat — built to serve daily family rituals for generations.
  • Elevated Vastu Heat Protection — The broad 9.5 cm flared pedestal base provides absolute grounding on flat surfaces. The tall integrated stem keeps hot oil and active flames safely elevated, protecting wooden or marble temple shelves from heat damage.

Care & Cleaning
  • The Base Wash — Unscrew the upper agal bowl from the standing stem. Wash each piece using Sabeena cleaning powder and a soft sponge to wipe away sticky soot and leftover oil residue. Do not use steel wire scrubbers.
  • Restoring the Temple Glow — Rub a small amount of fresh tamarind paste or lemon juice mixed with fine salt over the brass surface. The natural acid instantly dissolves dark spots and restores the bright shine.
  • Wipe Dry Immediately — Always dry the structure completely with a clean towel after rinsing so water drops do not leave white mineral spots in the grooved lines.

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.
