Description
In Kerala’s temple traditions, the Alu Vilakku is more than a lamp it is a symbol of life, continuity, and divine protection.
The word “Alu” refers to the Banyan Tree, one of the most sacred trees in Indian culture. Known as the Tree of Life, the Banyan tree spreads its roots endlessly, symbolizing eternal growth, wisdom, and shelter. Just as the tree branches out and supports life around it, the Alu Vilakku spreads light in every direction.
This majestic lamp is designed with multiple branches carrying 101 wicks, resembling the spreading canopy of the Banyan tree. When all the wicks are lit, the lamp creates a breathtaking halo of light that represents spiritual awakening and collective energy.
Traditionally seen in temples and grand ceremonies, the Alu Vilakku is believed to bring prosperity, protection, and divine blessings to the space where it is placed. The radiant arrangement of flames symbolizes knowledge overcoming darkness and the interconnectedness of life.
Crafted from solid brass and weighing app 15 kg, this grand lamp stands tall as a powerful ceremonial centerpiece for temples, large pooja rooms, festivals, and cultural events.
