About Tulip दीपवृक्षः

कुसुमवृत्तम् इति सुगन्धितसामान्यदीपिकाधारणार्थं निर्मितं मृत्तिकामयं दीपवृक्षम् अस्ति। कुसुमवृत्तस्य आकृतिः कुसुमपुष्पस्य रूपात् गृहीता वर्तते। दलानां मध्ये विद्यमानाः रन्ध्राः प्रज्वलितां दीपशलाकां प्रवेशयितुं समर्थाः सन्ति, यतः दीपिका सुलभतया प्रज्वालयितुं शक्यते। एतस्य दीपवृक्षस्य परिमाणं पञ्चपञ्चाशत् (५५) गुणितं पञ्चपञ्चाशत् (५५) गुणितं सप्तति (७०) मिलिमीटरपरिमितम् अस्ति। दीपिकायाः दहनकाले लघुज्वाला द्रवीभूते मोमे प्रतिबिम्बिता भवति, तथा च मृदुः सुगन्धः प्रसृतो भवति। कुसुमवृत्तस्य उद्देश्यम् अस्ति यत् दीपिकाप्रज्वालनं सरलं भवेत् तथा विश्रामाय ध्यानाय च गृहे शान्तं वातावरणं पोषितं भवेत्।
