(Sold as set of 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanding 18.5 cm high, the lamp has a turned central stem, broad circular base and a shallow oil bowl finished with five diya notches around the rim. Its slightly larger scale gives it more visual presence than our smaller nilavilakku while remaining compact enough for a pooja shelf, console, sideboard or tabletop display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional Kerala Lamp Form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nilavilakku is a distinctive standing oil-lamp form associated with Kerala and widely recognised across South Indian homes and ceremonial settings. This handcrafted brass version retains the tall proportions, sculpted stem, broad base and multi-wick oil bowl that give the traditional form its instantly recognisable silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile strongly associated with Kerala, similar standing brass oil lamps are used in homes and ceremonial settings across different parts of India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive-Wick Oil Lamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shallow brass bowl features five diya notches positioned around the rim, allowing multiple cotton wicks to be lit at the same time. When illuminated, the warm flames reflect across the polished brass bowl and turned stem, giving the lamp the characteristic glow that makes traditional brass deepams so striking during pooja and festive occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Pooja, Festivals \u0026amp; Home Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the nilavilakku in a pooja space, at an entrance, on a dining-room sideboard or as part of a festive arrangement. Its medium size gives it enough height and presence to work as a focal piece without requiring the floor space of a large traditional standing lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside ceremonial use, the lamp also works naturally as a sculptural brass decor piece. Displayed unlit, its turned profile, reflective bowl and warm brass finish give it a strong decorative character in both traditional and contemporary interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandcrafted Brass Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a handcrafted brass object, slight differences in polish, surface texture, colour, casting marks and symmetry are natural. These variations are part of the individual character of the piece rather than manufacturing defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Kerala Handcrafted Brass Nilavilakku - Medium Pooja Oil Lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handcrafted brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 205 g each (Set at 410g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOil bowl:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five diya notches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e KUB002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Ganges Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46254014136367,"sku":"BR0002","price":99.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/3943\/0191\/files\/Medium_Nilavilakku.png?v=1790486910","url":"https:\/\/theganges.com.au\/products\/traditional-kerala-brass-nilavilakku","provider":"The Ganges Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
