It is lit at every threshold moment: at dawn, at dusk, at the beginning of every festival, at the start of every significant occasion. It stands beside the deity in the pooja room. It flanks the entrance on festival nights. It is the lamp that says, without words, that this home takes its sacred life seriously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"em\"\u003eChavi Villaku\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— the lamp of warm radiance — is a matched pair of tall standing brass oil lamps in the classic South Indian tradition.
