It still keeps the classic circular base and tall stem that you’d expect from traditional oil lamps, beautifully blending Christian and Hindu design elements.

Care Instructions:
To maintain shine and avoid tarnish:
- Wipe clean after every use.
- Store in a dry area when not in use.
- Clean periodically with lemon + salt, tamarind paste, or brass polish (e.g., Pitambari, Brasso, or Dhara).
- Do not pour oil from the top (Koomb) — always fill from the sides.
