This brass lamp comprises a lamp bowl in the front, a container for oil in the middle, a ladle attached with a chain to the container for feeding oil into the lamp-bowl, and a handle, which is embellished with a figure of a hamsa.
The lamp incorporates the Hindu belief in akhanda jyot, which stands for burning the lamp without interruption. Here the lamp bowl is continuously refilled without letting the lamp extinguish even for a moment.
