Maavilakku | Rice Flour Lamp | Step By Step Recipe | EatMee Recipes

Maavilakku is an auspicious edible lamp made with rice flour. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ CLICK FOR INGREDIENTS ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ It is believed to be offered to Perumal (the family deity) & the divine Mother Mariamman, by the Hindu God Vishnu (Lord Venkatachalapathy), to pacify her anger at humanity sins & transgressions. Lighting Maavilakku in our homes, invites Lord Malaiyappan (Tirupathi Perumal) to visit our homes & the special prayer to the Goddess Mariamman is believed to bless the world with abundant rain & to cure & prevent disease. Maavilakku on Purttasi Saturdays are very important for Tamilians. The reason behind this ritual is that the Lord Venkatachalapathy expects his devotees to be close to him. For those who could not travel to Tirupati Hills, they may light Maavillakku in thier homes & worship Lord Vishnu by chanting thy name 'Govinda'. Thy blesses them through rays of Maavillakku light. Scientifically, the carbon emitted through the mixture of rice flour & ghee will destroy all ill radiation from the home. In Srivaishnava Community, during the month of Purttasi (Mid September/Mid October) on a Saturday, they used to light a lamp made of rice flour with added jaggery, cashew, ghee etc. Normally, this is done on any one of the Saturdays, on the first, third or fifth Saturday of Purttasi Tamil month. Many of the Tamilians offer Maavilakku to the GOD of their choice; Amman, Perumal, Murugan; in temples or at their homes. I learned about this from my late grandmother whom was of Tamil descent, she often made this lamp during the month of Kavady (Thai Poosam).
