Vintage Brass Hanging Oil Lamp With Bell - "Thooku Vilakku" From South India. Length 91 cm x Diameter 10 cm

 

Bring home a piece of timeless devotion with this exquisite Thooku Vilakku, a traditional hanging lamp with deep roots in Kerala’s spiritual heritage.

Measuring 91 cm in length (including the bell and chain), this rare piece is believed to be an ancestral lamp from a family in the Kannur region.

Crafted using the ancient art of metal casting, this Lingam Vilakku features intricately grooved oil holders for lighting diyas and a beautifully hand-engraved brass bell suspended beneath. The 70 cm chain allows it to hang gracefully in any prayer space or temple alcove.

Traditionally lit with ghee and cotton wicks at dusk, this lamp symbolizes the passage from darkness to light—“Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya”—a core belief in Indian spiritual practice. Revered as a daily offering to the divine, it remains a cherished presence in shrines and homes alike.

  • Total length (lamp + chain + bell): 91 cm

  • Diameter: 10 cm 

  • Chain length: 70 cm
