pot-shaped lamp in temples supported on a stand

[S. Kalyanaraman]

Hi,
Tamil lexicon has this entry:

ce_n-ai-k-ka_l stand of a pot-shaped lamp used in temples.

Can someone on the list provide more information on this?

Particularly intriguing is the prefix ce_n-ai.

s'en is a support for vine, pergola (Khotanese Iranian)

Regards,
k.
