The lamp or Vilakku is an embodiment of spirituality, wisdom, and divinity. They verily represent the timeless connection between the divine and human.One of the primary spiritual significances of the vilakku lies in its association with light and knowledge. Light is a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and the dispeller of darkness, as echoed in the timeless verse of the Upanishads- ‘tamaso ma jyotir gamaya’. ;symbolically signifying the awakening of the inner light and the dispelling of darkness of ignorance.

Skilled artisans craft intricate designs, patterns, and engravings on these lamps, making them a unique hanging lamps or deepa stambhas (lamp pillars) that are marvels of craftsmanship.In Kerala,The lighting of these lamps symbolizes the celebration of wisdom, prosperity, and divine blessings.
