5" Brass Ashtalakshmi Vilakku Diya for Pooja

This 5-inch brass Ashtalakshmi Vilakku is a hand cast diya that honors the eight forms of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and abundance. The piece captures the traditional lamp form with the characteristic wide base and oil-holding reservoir, crafted to hold a flame at its center. Cast in warm brass, it reflects light beautifully during ritual use or when displayed on a shelf, and the metalwork shows the care of hand-casting techniques.

The vilakku works as both a functioning oil lamp and a sculptural object. At just 5 inches tall and weighing 0.35 kilograms, it fits comfortably on a pooja shelf, altar, or meditation space without demanding much room. The brass develops a natural patina over time, deepening its character with use and age.
