I have heard that on the day of Kartikai deepam, one has to light a smaller version of sokkappanai at home before lighting up other lamps. For the sokkappanai can we use an earthen pot (Agal Vilakku) lamp with oil and use a wick made of thick strands (Gaadaathuni)?

For sokkappanai at home, use a lamp with ghee, place paddy within cotton (in the form of a small ball), and place the wick on top. This is called sokkappanai.
