Another artistic treasure of our heritage is the "SUKUNDA"and "SUMICHA". It is a traditional nepalese oil lamp used in almost all the religious as well as special events such as birthdays (while giving shagun), when you are leaving home for special occasions, when you pass the exams and remember god and also when you are starting anything new be it a new store, project or work. It is very essential that the lamp has the inscription of lord Ganesh as a god of bestower of success.
There is three parts associated with the "SUKUNDA". The body, the nossel and the "SUMICHA". The lamp is lit on the nossel with the help of oil and the oil is stored in the main body of the Sukunda. "SUMICHA"is the spoon with peacock on the top which is used to transfer oil from the vessel to the lamp to fuel the light.
