In Kerala, the traditional hanging oil lamps are called Thooku Vilakku. They are hung on the verandah, in the Pooja room, or as a piece of home décor in houses. The hanging lamps provide light to the surface above the land. During Poorams, these lamps are extensively used to decorate the temples and create a divine ambiance. One of the most auspicious lights used in rituals is the Lakshmi hanging lamp. The picture of Goddess Lakshmi, the bestower of riches and prosperity, is situated in the center of the oil basin and is encircled by peacock feathers. When the light is illuminated from the front, the center picture becomes the focal point, showing an enlightened image of the Goddess. The lamp has five wicks and is supported by a strong chain and a hook at the end all exuding the charming matt finish of brass. With all of these distinct characteristics, this lamp is magnificent and ideally suited to illuminating a ceremonial setting.
