Symbolisms and stories surround every ancient tradition, including that of the traditional Kerala lamp or the Nilavilakku. Be it Vishu or Diwali, Kerala starts its day with the Nilavilakku – the elegant traditional lamp that is mostly made of either brass or bronze. As the name suggests, Nilam is the ground and Vilakku is the lamp – indicating the type of lamp that stands on the ground It is believed that Kerala is where this style of lamps originate from, and the state boasts of superior craftsmanship in brass and bronze lamps On account of its bright, golden color, the brass material has been widely accepted in-home designs. However, brass may become dull and tarnished over time. A good piece will last for a very long time even generations with little care and maintenance.
