Ganesha Sukunda Lamp | Vintage Brass Oil Lamp from Nepal

ButeTraditional Ganesh Sukunda | Handcrafted Hindu Puja Lamp for Meditation

About our Product:

This magnificent Ganesha Sukunda lamp stands as a testament to Nepal's centuries-old tradition of sacred metalwork, where devotion and artistry converge in brass. Weighing 2.376 kg with a commanding height of 27cm and a 24cm base, this substantial piece brings authentic spiritual presence to any sacred space. The vintage brass construction showcases warm, golden hues characteristic of traditional Nepalese craftsmanship, while the natural patina adds depth and character. Lord Ganesha sits in regal posture upon an elaborate lotus-petaled throne, his rotund belly symbolizing abundance while his elephant head represents wisdom and the ability to overcome obstacles. Each of his multiple arms displays sacred mudras and holds traditional attributes—one hand raised in abhaya mudra (protection), another holding a lotus (purity). In contrast, others bear the ankusha (elephant goad) and modaka (sweet). The ornate crown features detailed metalwork showcasing traditional Nepalese jewelry designs, and the integrated oil lamp reservoir sits gracefully within the composition, designed to hold oil and a cotton wick, transforming the piece into a living element of worship when lit.

Whether you're establishing a home altar, enriching your meditation room, or seeking authentic spiritual decor, this brass Ganesha oil lamp serves both ceremonial and aesthetic purposes beautifully. The Sukunda tradition dates back generations in Nepal and India, where these lamps illuminate evening prayers and festivals, their flickering flames believed to dispel darkness both literal and metaphorical. Collectors of Hindu art, practitioners of yoga and meditation, and those drawn to Buddhist iconography will appreciate the authentic vintage craftsmanship and spiritual energy this piece embodies. This Ganesh lamp brings the sacred atmosphere of Himalayan temples into your personal sanctuary, making it perfect for daily puja rituals, Diwali celebrations, or as a centerpiece for your spiritual practice, while the intricate brass detailing rewards close examination and contemplation.

Introduction to Ganesh Sukunda

The popularity of Buddhist Ganesha extends beyond the spiritual. Ganesha is a Sanskrit name for the protector of prosperity and the remover of hindrances in Tibetan Buddhism. He is Vinayaka, a directional Protector. Avalokiteshvara persuades Ganesha to become a Dharma Protector in one of the Tantra stories. 

Sukunda is an oil lamp that combines a lamp and an oil container. It is made of metal in an artistic design. Oil is stored in the main section of the large pot and burnt in the bowl beside the neck with the aid of a wick. Oil is filled using a metal spoon known as Sumicha. Sukunda is the most essential object for every religious and social performance. Ganesh's inscription must be in it, whose presence is always needed for the performances as the god of the bestower of success.
