Description
The Nilavilakku is integral to several rituals and ceremonies in Hindu families in Kerala. As the sun sets, young girls of the family bring the lighted lamps to the verandah of the house, continued with evening prayers. In the evening the ritual is repeated alongside evening prayers. In Hindu temples, various types of Nilavilakku like `Kutthuvilakku`, `Thookkuvilakku` etc are used and are very much related to the traditional beliefs and activities in Kerala.
