Ghee Vilakku

The Ghee Vilakku, also known as the Ghee Lamp, holds a special place in Hindu rituals and ceremonies. Let me illuminate its significance for you:

• Ghee Lamp: This traditional lamp is made by filling a small vessel (usually made of clay or metal) with ghee (clarified butter) and placing a cotton wick in it. The wick is then lit, creating a gentle flame. Here’s why it’s revered:
  • Symbolism: The ghee lamp symbolizes the presence of divine energy, purity, and enlightenment. It represents the light of knowledge dispelling darkness and ignorance.
  • Spiritual Practice: Lighting a ghee lamp during puja (worship) or meditation is considered auspicious. Devotees offer prayers, express gratitude, and seek blessings while lighting the lamp.
  • Offerings: In temples and homes, ghee lamps are offered to deities as a form of devotion. The fragrance of ghee is believed to attract positive energies.
  • Harmony: The soft glow of the ghee lamp creates a serene ambiance, promoting inner peace and harmony.
