The 3.5-inch Brass Kuberan oil lamp is a sacred artifact in Hindu rituals, dedicated to Lord Kuber, the deity of wealth. Crafted from brass, it serves as both a functional oil lamp and a symbol of prosperity, often used in religious ceremonies to invoke blessings of abundance and financial well-being.
The Kubera Vilakku is dedicated to the divine lord of wealth and the celestial treasurer of the Hindu cosmos, Lord Kubera, who oversees the flow of abundance throughout the universe and bestows his grace on those who honour him with sincere devotion and appropriate ritual. In the South Indian tradition, lighting a lamp dedicated to Lord Kubera is among the most direct and effective spiritual practices for attracting prosperity, maintaining financial stability, and ensuring the wise management and growth of material resources. This lamp is the physical vehicle through which that sacred intention is expressed and sustained in the home.
Lord Kubera is worshipped in conjunction with Goddess Lakshmi for a comprehensive prosperity blessing that addresses not only the creation of wealth but also its preservation, multiplication, and enjoyment. The combination of Kubera's orderly management of cosmic finances and Lakshmi's radiant, abundant grace creates a powerful synergy for material wellbeing when both are honoured in the home puja practice. Many prosperous South Indian families maintain a tradition of Kubera lamp lighting that spans multiple generations, crediting its consistent practice as a key element in their household's sustained prosperity.
This vilakku is crafted from premium brass with sturdy construction that ensures safe, reliable use during daily puja. The traditional design reflects the aesthetic values of South Indian sacred lamp-making, with proportions and detailing that create a beautiful, dignified object worthy of the divine it is dedicated to. The lamp is sized appropriately for regular home use, with an oil reservoir that accommodates extended burning during longer puja sessions on festival days and auspicious occasions.
Lighting this lamp on Thursday evenings — the day associated with Kubera through the planet Jupiter — with ghee or sesame oil, accompanied by yellow flower offerings, turmeric, and the chanting of Kubera's mantra, creates a focused and powerful prosperity ritual. This vilakku makes an ideal gift for new businesses, housewarming ceremonies, Diwali celebrations, and Dhanteras, when the attraction of divine prosperity blessing is most actively sought by devotees.
Adyar Handicrafts is proud to offer this authentic Kubera Vilakku, crafted from premium brass to the standards of traditional South Indian lamp-making. Light it with pure ghee on Thursday evenings and during Diwali, Dhanteras, and regular Kubera Puja observances to establish a consistent devotional channel for Lord Kubera's prosperity blessings. Maintain it with regular cleaning and periodic polishing to keep it gleaming brightly. A well-cared-for sacred lamp is itself an expression of the devotee's gratitude and respect for the divine abundance that Kubera represents and bestows on sincere worshippers everywhere.
