Clay Lamps Collection Near a Temple in Chennai


I found this collection of different shaped clay lamps ready to be sold near a temple in Chennai.

  1. Oops! I thought these were shells from different kinds of nuts. I guess that shows what kind of nut am I? :-) So these clay lamps are to be lit in the temple like candles in a Roman church?

  2. Could you please tell me the name of the Temple or the area where the temple is located?

    Thanks

  3. Ok I posted the last comment. I have found out a Temple where they sell these clay lamps. They gave information that these lamps come from Calcutta and it goes to Temples all over Tamil Nadu. I have seen a large collection of these in Temples in Kumbakonam. I missed to buy them there.

    In Chennai I have bought them recently around Maha Prathyankara Devi Temple in Sholinganallur, Chennai.

    Thanks.
