The Nilavilakku is a traditional Kerala lamp made of brass or bronze, commonly used in Hindu households and temples. It is a tall standing oil lamp with a central stem and a bowl-like top where wicks are placed and lit using oil, usually sesame or coconut oil. Lighting the Nilavilakku is considered auspicious, symbolizing the dispelling of darkness and the welcoming of knowledge, prosperity, and positivity.
