Vintage 7-Wick Laman Diva | Hanging Brass Oil Lamp | Maharashtra

This vintage 7-wick Laman Diva is a traditional Indian hanging oil lamp, crafted as a functional piece of ritual metalware for use in domestic shrines and temple settings. Designed with seven evenly spaced spouts for oil and wicks, the lamp creates a distinctive multi-flame glow when lit and was traditionally used during pooja, devotional rituals and festive illumination.

Suspended from a substantial decorative chain, the lamp has both a practical and sculptural quality. The long chain allows the Laman Diva to be hung from above, while its compact seven-spout form gives it a strong visual presence without overwhelming the space. The combination of the lamp and chain makes it particularly suited to traditional Indian interiors, prayer spaces and heritage-inspired settings.

The Laman Diva belongs to India's long tradition of ritual oil lamps, in which the lighting of a diya represents the dispelling of darkness and the presence of light, auspiciousness and spiritual clarity. Seven-wick lamps are especially striking when illuminated, with multiple flames radiating from a single vessel.

With a total height of 24 inches including the chain and a lamp width of approximately 5 inches, this is a substantial hanging diya with an elegant vertical form. Today, it works equally well as a vintage Indian collectible, a ritual object, or a distinctive decorative lamp for an Indian or contemporary interior.
