The Lamp Pillar Dipastambha: a free-standing stone or metal pillar used to hold oil lamps should be triple-tiered, pure, and well-proportioned. It should have two "breasts" referring to decorative moldings or brackets and be placed in a secret or secluded spot. For two days, one should observe the vows and perform the lighting of the lamp.
