Diyas
Diyas are small, traditional oil lamps, often made from clay, used primarily during Indian festivals like Diwali. They hold a cotton wick soaked in oil, typically ghee or mustard oil, which when lit, produces a warm, steady glow. Diyas symbolize the victory of light over darkness and are believed to bring prosperity and positivity. They are placed around homes, temples, and streets to enhance spiritual ambiance and celebrate cultural heritage. Their simple design and heartfelt significance make them an enduring symbol of festivity and hope in many South Asian communities.
