Deepalakshmi are typical statues of maidens holding a leaf-shaped lamp with both hands. These lamps are often confused with Bomma Vilakkus or Doll lamps. This lamp made in brass is a Deepalakshmi gracefully standing on a lotus pedestal, finely decorated with regal ornamentation. Her attire flaunts her status as the carrier of wealth, prosperity, and good luck. The pleats of her dress are exquisitely carved. Her hairdo resembles the ancient kesha bandha of deities. Her ears are adorned with traditional kundal or earrings.
The Deepa Lakshmi is assisted by two parrots sitting on both of her shoulders. The parrots are long considered as the confidants of maidens. There have been several poetic compositions of maidens sharing their deepest secrets with the parrots. This lamp is an ancient lighting system that can also be regarded as art.
