Made primarily of copper, it features intricate gold plating, enhancing its visual appeal and adding a sense of opulence. At the top of the lamp is an offering symbol, an essential element in many Tibetan rituals, signifying a connection to the divine.

As you move down the lamp, auspicious symbols are carved into the sides of the butter lamp's head, reinforcing its role in promoting good fortune and blessings. Below the head, a long-life vase is depicted with deeply engraved carvings, symbolizing the wish for longevity and the preservation of health. The intricate carvings on the vase add beauty and meaning to the piece. These elements are significant in Tibetan Buddhist culture, where longevity and prosperity are often sought through symbolic offerings.

The base itself is elegantly designed, and the floral motif represents purity, harmony, and the blossoming of spiritual wisdom. The combination of copper, gold plating, and finely detailed carvings makes this butter lamp a functional object for ritual offerings and a unique work of art. Its spiritual symbolism, combined with the artistic craftsmanship, makes it a centerpiece for any altar or sacred space.
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 hand, 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 was commonly used in old times. The whole process is a meditative spiritual practice, which engages a person physically and mentally if they know and practice it according to the norms.
