Brass Wick Holder (Vilakku Thiri Stand) - Big (Pital Batti Stand Bada)

The Ramanga wick holder, also known as a vilakku thiri holder, is a traditional item used to support the cotton wick (thiri) in oil lamps commonly seen in South Indian households and temples. Typically made from brass or other heat-resistant metals, this holder ensures that the wick remains steady and upright while burning, allowing for a consistent flame. It plays a key role in daily rituals and festive occasions, where lighting a lamp symbolizes the removal of darkness and the presence of divine energy. The wick holder not only enhances the efficiency of the lamp but also adds a touch of cultural and spiritual elegance to the setting. Its simple yet purposeful design reflects centuries-old traditions that continue to be observed with reverence and devotion.
