Earthern Diyas

Significance of Diyas

Lighting Diyas or Oil Lamps, is part of Hindu Puja ritual and has been practiced since ancient times. The significance of lighting a Diya is profound in Vedic rituals. In temples a Diya is always seen lit near the Deity. In Puja altars at home, a Diya is used for performing Aarti of the Deity and a Diya is lit and kept through the day or through the Puja duration. Lighting a Diya is significant in inviting the fire energy, which purifies the atmosphere by eliminating negative energies. Lighting Diyas bring prosperity and good luck.

When we light a Diya it signifies that we are surrendering our self to the Divine, acknowledging Him as the truth. The flame of the Diya signifies illumination of my mind, knowledge that shows us the way with its light. The Oil in the Diya symbolizes our negative aspects, be it thoughts, intentions, envy and other lower emotions. The wick stands for our ego, which is lit to dissolve the ego, or rather burn it out along with our negativity, leaving us to face the truth about self. The flame also represents our soul.

When conducting a Puja ceremony, the Pandit always lights the Diya first, to invoke the Divine energies, the Deity of worship in that ceremony. The Sankalpa or intention of conducting the Puja is also set after lighting the Diya.

Different kinds of oils are also used for Diyas during Puja purposes, like, Ghee(clarified Butter), Mustard Oil, Til Oil(Sesame Oil or Gingerly oil) etc. Many times the oil of Diya is selected as per the Deity being worshipped.

Diyas for Pujas and Diwali

There are different Diya types as they are made of different materials, such as, Brass, Silver, Earthen/clay and other materials. Brass Diyas are very popular and found in almost every Hindu house. Earthen Diyas have been used since times unknown, as they are made from the most easily available, natural material, Earth, and which can be easily moulded to any shape. The clay Oil Lamps are the purest form of lamps and said to be endowed with good Spirit. Earthen Diyas were also used as a source of light as there was no electricity in ancient times. The tradition of lighting Earthen Diyas continues till date during the festival of Diwali or Deepavali. The Diya is also known as Deep, Deepam, Diyo, Diva etc.

Diwali is famous Worldwide as the 'festival of lights', a festival which denotes the victory of good over evil. Legend has it that the kingdom of Ayodhya was completely lit up with Diyas to welcome Lord Shri Rama, post 14 years of exile in the forest and after defeating Ravana, it is since then that Diwlai is celebrated by lighting Diyas. The word Deepavali is a compound of 'Deep' meaning Diya, and 'vali' means rows. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides in brightly lit houses and therefore Diyas and lights are the order of Diwali as Goddess Lakshmi is the deity invoked in this festival to bless the house with prosperity, wealth, abundance. It is a delight to see Diyas lining houses, offices, shops spreading its light, joy and positivity everywhere in India. Each day of Diwali, a certain number of Diyas is to be lit, which has its own significance. Beside the Puja Alter, Decorative Diyas are lit outside the entrance of the dwelling to usher in the auspicious energies.
