• Origin
The Arch Kemp ornament has its roots in the rich heritage of South Indian temple jewelry, particularly from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The term "Kemp" denotes the deep red glass stones that have been traditionally employed in classical jewelry, originating from the Tamil word "kempu," which translates to red. Historically, these stones were set in gold to create regal embellishments for both deities and dancers.

The arch design itself is inspired by the torana—a sacred archway found in temple architecture—symbolizing divine entrances. Over the years, artisans have adapted this arch motif into jewelry, positioning it above the deity’s head as a halo-like crown, particularly during Navaratri, Varalakshmi Vratham, and other festive alankarams.

Consequently, the Arch Kemp harmonizes sacred symbolism, regional craftsmanship, and devotional artistry, establishing it as a timeless piece in both idol decor and goddess ornamentation.

• Uses
Positioned above the idol’s head as a halo-like crown during pooja.
Frequently utilized for Goddess Lakshmi, Durga, Balaji, and Krishna idols.
Augments the visual sanctity of the altar during festivals and rituals.
Complements other deity jewelry such as ear chains, necklaces, and waist belts.

• Preservation Measures
Store with care in a soft, dry cloth or padded box to avert scratches on the Kemp stones and gold finish.
Refrain from exposing to water, perfumes, oils, and incense smoke.
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cotton cloth after every use to eliminate dust and preserve its shine.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight to avert fading of the bright red and green Kemp stones.
