  • Daily Worship (Puja): Placed in the puja room or altar and lit during daily prayers.

  • Festivals: Used prominently during major festivals like Diwali (Festival of Lights), Navaratri, and Karthigai Deepam (Tamil festival celebrating Lord Murugan).

  • Aarti: Smaller versions are sometimes used as aarti lamps, waved in front of the deity.

• Ceremonial Gifting: The lamp is a very popular and meaningful gift for auspicious occasions, including:

  • Marriages (symbolizing the new bride as the light of the house).

  • Housewarming Ceremonies (Grahapravesam) (to welcome light and prosperity to the new dwelling).

• Spiritual Enlightenment: The act of lighting the lamp is symbolically interpreted as removing the darkness of ignorance with the light of knowledge and spiritual devotion.

• Home Decor: Beyond its religious use, its intricate design and classic brass craftsmanship make it a stunning traditional decorative piece that adds a touch of elegance and culture to any space.
