8" Brass Nagadipa Shodash Upachara Lamp with Serpent Design

This hand cast brass lamp takes its form from the ancient nagadipa tradition, where a serpent becomes the vessel for ritual light. At 8 inches tall and wide, the piece presents a commanding frontal presence, with the snake's coiled body forming the lamp chamber itself. The brass catches and holds flame with a warm glow that speaks to centuries of temple practice, where such lamps honor serpent deities across Indian worship.

Cast in brass using traditional methods, the nagadipa sits naturally on a shelf, altar, or meditation space where its sculptural weight and proportions feel grounded and intentional. The piece functions equally well as a ritual lamp or as a striking decorative object that draws conversation through its symbolic form.
