Why This Hanging Lamp Deserves a Special Place in Your Home

Generous 60 ml Single-Wick Reservoir: The main bowl features a deep, single continuous oil basin built to hold an impressive 60 ml capacity of oil or ghee. This ample depth allows a thick cotton wick to sit perfectly, giving you a steady, calm, and long-lasting flame that keeps your pooja room illuminated throughout your extended prayers.

The Majestic Annapakshi Finial: Seated proudly right on top of the oil basin is a beautifully carved Annapakshi (the divine swan). Its elegant wind-swept tail and traditional neck curves bring a timeless, 17th-century style temple heritage right into your living space.

Traditional Bottom Kumil Base: Hanging gracefully from the absolute centre base is a perfectly rounded Kumil (traditional teardrop metal finial). This classic feature balances the visual weight of the sculpture, giving it a flawless dangling posture when suspended.

Heavy Sturdy Chain & Grip Hook: The set comes completely integrated with a solid, thick brass chain measuring a generous 30 cm in length. The top of the chain features a wide, heavy-duty S-hook bracket with an apt design to latch tightly onto any ceiling loop, balcony frame, or wall stand with a rock-solid strong grip.

Material, Quality & Craftsmanship

Solid Heavy-Duty Cast Brass: Poured from thick, 100% genuine solid brass metal right in our local workshops. It carries a highly substantial, expensive feel in the hand, weighing approximately 540 grams for its compact sizing. It is completely unbreakable and built to last for generations.

Timeless Antique Finish Polish: The entire structure is treated to achieve a beautiful aged texture. Deep dark shadows are safely locked inside the fine lines of the bird’s feathers and the wick corners, ensuring the raised golden brass features pop out with clean, realistic contrast.

Perfect Proportional Dimensions: Carefully structured with a 12.5 cm lamp height, a wide 8.0 cm lamp diameter, and a practical 46 cm entire height while hanging from the top hook down to the bottom Kumil base.

A Meaningful Traditional Gift for Special Milestones

Home Altar Mandirs & Entryways: An exceptional statement choice to hang on both sides of your main door wooden frame or your home temple room to create a grand, royal welcome look.

Grand Housewarmings & Diwali Gifting: A deeply respectable, valuable family keepsake to gift close friends or family to wish them a strong, bright, and well-protected new beginning filled with luck.

Safe Worldwide Suitcase Packing: Built from solid, thick cast brass metal, this sturdy lamp set is completely immune to fractures or cracks during long international travel or shipping.

Simple Care & Maintenance Instructions

Because this solid piece features an intentional antique finish with dark shaded accents, it requires very low maintenance to keep its classic vintage look:

Simple Weekly Dusting: Clean gently once a week using a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a small dry paintbrush to easily clear out dust from the fine feathers and the wick corner.

Washing the Oil Basin: Since this holds a larger 60 ml pool of oil, simply wash the basin area using regular dish soap and a soft sponge to wash away leftover sticky soot after your prayers. Never use steel wool or harsh chemical cleaners, as they will scratch away the beautiful dark antique shading.

Wipe it Completely Dry: Always wipe the structure completely dry with a towel immediately after any rinse to prevent uneven white water mineral spots from forming on the polished brass surfaces.
