cone shaped camphor vilakku

A cone-shaped camphor vilakku is a traditional oil lamp used in Hindu rituals and religious ceremonies. Made from materials such as brass or copper, this lamp has a unique cone shape, which distinguishes it from other types of oil lamps.

The lamp is designed to hold camphor, which is a substance known for its aromatic properties and is often used in pooja (prayer) to purify the environment and enhance the spiritual ambiance. When lit, the camphor produces a fragrant smoke that is believed to dispel negative energies and bring a sense of peace and divine presence.
