Hand-Carved Nepali Wooden Temple Frame with Hanging Brass Diya Oil Lamp

Artistry and Tradition

This stunning decorative piece is a tribute to the ancient wood-carving traditions of the Kathmandu Valley. The frame is meticulously crafted from high-quality wood, finished in a deep ebony stain that highlights the intricate geometric and floral engravings. Its silhouette mimics the sacred Torana arches found at the entrances of Nepalese temples.

The Sacred Glow

Suspended from the center of the arch is a miniature brass oil lamp (Diya). The lamp features:

• Makara Details: Traditional mythical sea-creatures flanking the arch.

• Leaf Accents: Delicate brass “Peepal” leaves that dangle and catch the light.

• Functional Design: A central well for oil and a cotton wick, or it can be used with a tea-light candle.

Versatile Decor

Whether placed on a bookshelf, used as a centerpiece for your Puja room, or given as a thoughtful housewarming gift, this temple frame serves as a symbol of light, protection, and peace. Its compact size makes it an ideal fit for modern apartments looking for a soul-stirring vintage aesthetic.
