Can I put alcohol in the butter lamp?

You can't put alcohol in butter lamps. Butter lamps use butter as a burning source.

The oil lamp originated earlier and continues to this day, and it is one of the daily necessities with a long development time. At present, butter lamps have a late origin and are not widely used. They are mostly found in Mongolia and Tibet, with obvious regionality.

Lamp is a symbol of wisdom and light; Light is a symbol of light and wisdom, and it is one of the important offerings in Buddhism.
