The villaku has intricately carved elephants  at the sides of the goddess, arches and louts flowers. Handmade by skilled artisans. All auspicious functions commence with the lighting of the brass diya or villaku. The meaning is that the ignorance of darkness is removed when the light which symbolizes knowledge is lit. Hence we all bow down to knowledge as the greatest form of wealth.  Diyas are mainly used as oil lamps. The wreck is made from cotton and the oil used is mostly vegetable oil.
