This vintage lamp from Tamilnadu showcases an exquisite form factor with the "Sricharanam" symbol of Lord Vishnu at its center. The Sun and Moon are etched on either side of the Sricharanam, symbolizing light, enlightenment, and purity. The top of the lamp is styled in the shape of a crown or mukut, while the base features thick-rimmed walls designed to securely hold oil. This lamp is not only a beautiful traditional piece but also a functional vintage item to own. 

Care instructions: Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth. Do not expose it to direct sunlight, dampness, heat or cold.
