Butter lamps, also known as ghee lamps or 'dipak' in Sanskrit, are traditional oil lamps used in various cultures for spiritual practices and as sources of light. Made from a hollowed-out piece of butter or clarified butter, these lamps are filled with wicks made of cotton, hemp, or other natural fibers. When lit, the butter slowly melts and releases a soothing, aromatic scent. The gentle, flickering flame creates a warm and calming atmosphere, making butter lamps a beloved symbol of peace, tranquility, and spirituality. Often used in meditation and prayer sessions, these lamps are also believed to bring good fortune and ward off negative energies. With their unique and timeless charm, butter lamps continue to be cherished by people around the world for their spiritual and aesthetic value.
