A statement lamp with a long, curvaceous stem to grace your home. To this day, the traditional ghee-lit lamp is an integral part of almost every Indian home. It symbolises the confluence of the three existential constituent elements ie tamas (inertia), rajas (motion), and sattva (stability). By lighting it in a corner of one’s home, one celebrates Mother Prakrti (nature) Herself as well as the hoped-for predominance of sattva over rajas over tamas. The lamp that you see on this page would serve just the purpose in a modern Indian home or office. It is fashioned from pure brass and features a tray of five discrete lamps at the mouth of the stem. The way the stem has been carved is sure to make it stand out from your traditional straight-stemmed Indian lamps. It is poised upon a shallow, upturned stand engraved with miniscule lotus petals; as legs, the same features three sprigs of luxuriantly spreading vine. Miniature blooms at either end of the stem, and a series of perfectly symmetrical petal carvings along its gentle, upward-curving length. A gorgeously plumaged peacock graces the zenith of the lamp. It is a stately bird, the feathers on its breast engraved with considerable precision. Its layered tail rises high above its head behind its body, as if fashioned from gold itself. Such a lamp is sure to add to the aesthetics and the Indian sensibilities of your space.
