Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Namaste Tigre, Off the top of my head without looking at the picture, do you mean a 'Deepak lamp"? We put ghee into them, then press a cotton wick into it. Take some ghee and flatten the cotton balls, then straighten to little wicks. Another method is to purchase proper wicks from your local craft store. Om Namah Shivaya Simone , "Tigre" <tigrevaliente> wrote: > Namaste. Dear Group members.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Thank you Simoneji, the info I was seeking was concerning this exact type of lamp in the Rudraksha Ratna web page - the paanch aarti lamp. I understand it would mean 5 lights lamp, and there are indeed 5 little dishes for the wicks (i already know how to use them). To repeat my question: i would like to know what is put in the big dish in the middle? I hope someone has knowledge in this matter to explain how it works. It is a very pretty lamp and I would like to use it.
