"Illuminate your sacred space with a silver hanging lamp—traditional thooku vilakku symbolizing light, purity, and divine presence in every ritual."

This exquisite silver vilakku, sometimes referred to as a thooku vilakku, vilakku, or hanging lamp, is a religious lighting fixture designed for usage in temples and pooja ceremonies. It reflects traditional South Indian culture and is intended to be hung from ceilings or brackets.

• Origin
The thooku vilakku, as the hanging lamp is known in Tamil, is deeply rooted in Vedic and ancient Agamic traditions. The silver vilakku, which is typically seen in temples and ancestral houses, is made of smooth, bell-shaped material with a large oil-holding basin and chain for hanging it. When lit, this vilakku emits a soft, reflective shine that has been polished with a delicate antique sheen. Its balanced architecture directs light downward, representing spiritual enlightenment and heavenly grace in holy settings.

The thooku vilakku, which is commonly used during Karthigai Deepam, Navaratri, Diwali, and daily pooja, pays homage to the divine by lighting. This silver vilakku, frequently devoted to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Shiva, and Lord Murugan, is a symbolic and practical gift to the gods.

The hanging lamp or thooku vilakku is thought to ward off negativity and bring blessings when lit at dusk in South Indian culture, particularly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The silver vilakku, which represents the victory of light over darkness, is a common feature of temples and home shrines. It is thought to be fortunate for weddings, new homes, and festive ceremonies, and it is handed down through generations.
