The Kukula Oil Lamp, known in Sinhala as Kukula Pahana, is a traditional Sri Lankan ceremonial brass oil lamp crafted in the heritage brassware villages around Pilimathalawa and Kandy.
A tall floor lamp in solid brass, standing 3 to 6 feet, with a rooster finial and wide oil dish for multiple cotton wicks.
Burns coconut oil with no electrical parts, controls, or cables, just a soft golden flame you light by hand.
Used at weddings, New Year celebrations, almsgivings, housewarmings, temple events, school prize-givings, and corporate launches where a chief guest lights the lamp.
Also suits hotel lobbies, themed backdrops, and staged photography as a heritage accent.
Why Choose This Product

- Solid Brass Construction: Heavy cast and turned brass body with traditional stepped base, central column and rooster (kukula) finial - the signature element that gives the lamp its name.
- Multi-Wick Oil Dish: Wide upper dish holds coconut oil and accommodates multiple cotton wicks at the rim, allowing several flames to be lit simultaneously by guests of honour.
- Floor-Standing Design: Tall ceremonial form (commonly 3-6ft heights) intended to stand on the floor or a raised platform, visible to the full audience during the lighting ritual.
