Vattulu / Vatti / Pooja Wicks – A Divine Element for Every Pooja
Vattulu (also known as Vatti or Pooja Wicks) are an essential component in traditional Hindu rituals and daily worship. These small, humble cotton wicks carry deep spiritual significance, symbolizing purity, enlightenment, and prosperity. Lighting a lamp with vattulu is believed to invoke divine blessings, drive away negativity, and create a peaceful, sacred atmosphere.
Pooja wicks are usually handmade using pure cotton, often twisted or rolled in specific shapes. In some cases, cotton is soaked in ghee (clarified butter) or sesame oil, enhancing their spiritual and medicinal properties. The purity of the cotton and oil used is vital, as it is believed to influence the energy and vibrations in the space.
