Brass Hanging Oil Lamps
About this collection
A brass hanging oil lamp is a deepak that hangs from a hook, used in a puja corner, an entrance or a temple area. Sizes differ widely, and the weight changes between designs, so check the kilogram figure before you choose a hook. Each listing names the design, which tells you the decoration on the lamp.
Hang the lamp from a firm hook set into a solid ceiling or wall, not a light fixing. Fill it with ghee or pooja oil to the level it holds, and keep the wick centred. Clean the soot with warm water and soap, then dry the brass thoroughly.
