Varahi Amman Lamp, also known as "Varahi Vilakku" or "Varahi Lamp," is a traditional lamp used in Hindu religious practices, particularly in South India. It is associated with the worship of Goddess Varahi Amman. This oil lamp holds significance in various rituals. It is said to bring several benefits to the devotees who use it. It is seen to be a sign of respect and devotion to light the lamp. Devotees believe that by offering light to the goddess, they are seeking her blessings and protection. Lighting the product is also believed to purify the surroundings and create an auspicious atmosphere. The presence of light is associated with dispelling darkness, both physically and metaphorically, and inviting positive energies into the environment. The light from the lamp is believed to drive away negative energies and influences. It is thought to create a protective barrier against malevolent forces.

Lighting a lamp is one of the oldest parts of daily pooja in Indian homes. It is traditionally lit at dawn and at dusk in front of the deity, a reminder to begin and end the day with prayer.

• Traditionally lit every day in the pooja room, and on festival days such as Karthigai Deepam and Deepavali.
• Lamps made for a particular deity are traditionally lit on the days linked with that deity.
• The lit lamp is kept in front of the deity during pooja, aarti and japa.
• A traditional gift for weddings, house-warmings and festivals.

• Place the lamp on a flat, heat-safe plate or stand, away from curtains, paper and flowers.
• Use ghee, gingelly oil or lamp oil with cotton wicks. Fill to below the rim so the oil does not overflow.
• Light the lamp at dawn or at dusk in front of the deity, as is the custom in many homes.
• Never leave a lit lamp unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• Once it has cooled, wipe away oil and soot with a soft cloth. Wash with mild soap or a little lemon juice, rinse and dry fully before storing.
