The Aalvilakku Tradition:

Aalvilakku, also known as Nilavilakku, holds immense cultural significance in South Indian households, temples, and other sacred spaces. The ceremonial lamp is a symbol of auspiciousness, wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment. Alackal Bell Metals has embraced this tradition, infusing it with their own touch of craftsmanship.

The 75 Thiri Experience:

One distinctive feature of Alackal Bell Metals' Aalvilakku is the provision for 75 Thiri (wicks). This is not just a design choice but a symbolic representation of the 72 melakartha ragas in Indian classical music, with the additional three representing the Trinity of Carnatic music—Tyagaraja, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Syama Sastri. This attention to detail elevates the Aalvilakku beyond a mere decorative item to a spiritual and cultural masterpiece.

Handmade Excellence:

What sets Alackal Bell Metals apart is their commitment to traditional methods of craftsmanship. Each Aalvilakku is meticulously handmade by skilled artisans who have inherited the art of metal casting from generations past. The use of high-quality bronze adds a lustrous finish, ensuring durability and a timeless appeal.
