12" Brass Handheld Aarati Lamp Handmade for Pooja Rituals

This 12-inch brass aarati lamp is a handheld ceremonial vessel designed for the Hindu ritual of waving light before a deity or honored person. Cast in warm brass, it features a shallow cup at the end of a curved handle, allowing the bearer to move the lamp in graceful arcs while oil or ghee burns within. The form is both functional and sculptural, with the brass taking on a rich patina over time that deepens its presence in candlelight.

Hand cast with careful attention to balance and proportion, this lamp sits comfortably in the hand and works equally well on an altar shelf or held during puja. The brass develops character with use, and the piece requires only occasional cleaning to maintain its glow. At just over a kilogram, it is substantial enough to feel authentic yet light enough for daily ceremonial use.
