About Butter Lamp:

This Traditional Handcrafted Tibetan Butter Lamp is crafted from brass and copper, measuring 14.5 cm in height with a 10 cm diameter and weighing 0.49 kg. In Tibetan Buddhism, butter lamps are offered as symbols of dispelling darkness and bringing the light of wisdom. Its elegant form with a wide bowl and tiered base makes it a meaningful ritual piece for meditation, offerings, and sacred ceremonies.

The copper body is accented with brass detailing and engraved with delicate flower motifs that flow around the surface. These designs reflect purity, growth, and spiritual awakening, echoing the lotus and other sacred floral symbols often found in Himalayan art. The 5 cm deep bowl rests above a layered base, each section carefully shaped and patterned to highlight traditional craftsmanship and symbolic artistry.

This Tibetan butter lamp is more than a ritual object—it is a spiritual vessel that represents illumination, clarity, and compassion. Perfect for Buddhist altars, meditation spaces, or as an inspiring cultural centerpiece, this handcrafted lamp embodies the sacred traditions of Tibetan ritual art. With its flower-inspired designs and copper-brass construction, it connects devotion, artistry, and Himalayan heritage.

Introduction To The Butter Lamp :

The whole process of offering a butter lamp is also a very spiritual practice. The traditional practice of preparing a butter lamp starts by washing one’s hands, wearing a mask to protect from contaminating the butter lamp through one’s breath, making the wick out of pure cotton, and cleaning the chalices with a clean piece of cloth reserved for this or fresh mosses from the trees, which were commonly used in old times. The whole process is a meditative spiritual practice that engages a person both physically and mentally, provided they know and practice it according to the norms.
