• About the Product
This devotional accessory, commonly referred to as a lamp glass, deepam glass, or chimney, serves as a protective shield around your burning lamp. It is made of heat-safe, transparent glass that allows the flame to glow undisturbed, especially in spaces where air movement may threaten to extinguish it. Also known by other names such as deepa dome, vilakku cover, or glass enclosure, this item has become a trusted addition to both home and temple worship settings.
• Cultural and Spiritual Origins
The use of a chimney around the deepam has roots in traditional temple worship where the sacred flame represents constant divine presence. To maintain this flame against wind and environmental disturbances, the deepam glass began to be used, especially in households following daily poojas. The continuous light of a deepam is viewed in many scriptures as the light of the soul, and keeping it steady is considered a vital part of offering one’s prayers to the divine.
• The lamp glass is especially favored in South Indian spiritual practice—across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. Among devotees in the USA, this item has become a practical and devotional must-have, particularly in homes with ceiling fans or air conditioning. It is also seen frequently in temples and spiritual centers, helping maintain the sanctity of rituals by preserving the deepam's flame from disturbance.
• Usage and Applications: Simply place the deepam glass over your lit kuthu vilakku or any pooja lamp. It is perfect for use during daily morning and evening lamp lighting or for extended poojas, bhajans, and festival rituals. The lamp glass ensures that your offering to the divine remains uninterrupted, whether indoors or during outdoor functions like Diwali or Karthigai Deepam.
• Storage and Care: To protect the glass from breakage, store the chimney wrapped in soft cloth or in a cushioned box. Avoid placing it in crowded shelves with heavy items. For cleaning, use a gentle cloth or mild detergent and avoid scrubbing materials that may scratch the surface. Proper care will ensure your deepam glass remains clear and ready for every sacred occasion.
• This item is especially meaningful during worship of deities such as Goddess Lakshmi, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Muruga. During festivals like Navratri, Fridays, and Karthigai Deepam, keeping the flame burning steadily is symbolic of unwavering devotion. The chimney plays a quiet but vital role in maintaining that spiritual continuity throughout the ritual.
