These enormous, beautifully constructed butter lamps offer light, symbolizing the removal of darkness, ignorance, and negativity while welcoming wisdom, clarity, and enlightenment. The offering symbols and flower carvings on the base are silver, but the entire butter lamp is copper-crafted. The butter lamp features a long-life vase with a Kirtimukha in the center, surrounded by flowing silver-carved motifs.
Offering butter lamps is regarded as an act of devotion and compassion in Tibetan Buddhism to accumulate merit, purify karma, and guide the soul to liberation. The elaborate silverwork features sacred Buddhist patterns, bringing a celestial presence to any spiritual setting. These butter lamps exemplify spiritual illumination, used in everyday prayers, celebrations, or as a symbolic temple component. They are ideal for monasteries, meditation halls, and private shrines, adding a profound spiritual dimension to any sacred situation.
