Discover the Divine Brilliance of Handmade Brass Deepasthambham with Peacock Head and Tortoise Base from Alackal Bell Metals, Mannar
Introduction: Lighting the Path of Tradition and Divinity
In a world of changing trends and fast-paced lifestyles, there is something profoundly timeless about tradition. The soft, golden glow of a traditional Deepasthambham (Sthambha Vilakku) not only illuminates a space but also brings forth an aura of peace, power, and prosperity. From the heartland of Kerala, in the historic town of Mannar, comes a magnificent creation—the handcrafted Brass Deepasthambham with Peacock Head and Tortoise Base, Square Peedom, 5-Layer, 41-Wicks, standing an impressive 5 feet tall, available exclusively from Alackal Bell Metals.
This awe-inspiring brass masterpiece is more than just a lamp; it is a symbol of heritage, culture, and divine artistry, ideal for temples, pooja rooms, home decor, resort entrances, and wedding stages. Designed to perfection by traditional artisans, each Deepasthambham is a sacred blend of aesthetics, symbolism, and spirituality.
1. What is a Deepasthambham / Sthambha Vilakku?
The Deepasthambham, also known as the Sthambha Vilakku, is a vertical brass oil lamp traditionally found in Hindu temples, homes, and sacred spaces across South India, especially Kerala. It is designed to hold multiple wicks that are lit during rituals and festivals, symbolizing the removal of darkness and the ushering in of spiritual enlightenment.
The towering presence of a Deepasthambham acts as a beacon of light—both literal and metaphorical—and holds deep religious significance. The height, the number of layers (thattu), the structure, and the carvings all convey specific meanings in Hindu iconography.

3. The Symbolism Behind the Design
-
Peacock Head (Annapakshi): A symbol of grace, spirituality, beauty, and prosperity. The peacock is associated with divinity and is considered an auspicious representation of Goddess Saraswati and Lord Muruga.
-
Tortoise Base (Kurma Peedom): Signifies grounding, stability, and spiritual strength. In Hindu mythology, the tortoise is the second avatar of Lord Vishnu and represents endurance and cosmic support.
-
Square Peedom: The square base signifies the four directions and the grounding of energy in the physical plane.
-
41 Wicks: Each wick represents a connection to divine energy. More wicks imply greater illumination and spiritual expansion.
-
5 Steps (Thattu): Each layer symbolizes one of the five elements (Pancha Bhootas)—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—thus balancing the energies.
4. Why Choose Brass? The Power of Metal in Spiritual Practice
Brass is not just a metal—it is a conductor of spiritual energy. Known for its antibacterial properties and ability to absorb positive vibrations, brass is the metal of choice for most traditional pooja items in Indian culture.
Our Deepasthambham is made using pure brass with traditional molding and casting techniques passed down for generations. When lit, the brass lamp exudes a warm glow that is both serene and commanding.
