Diya / Deepam Seva

Lighting a lamp is a central practice in Hindu worship. It represents the presence of divine energy, removing darkness and ignorance while inviting knowledge, positivity, and auspiciousness into the space. The flame is seen as a purifier, and the act of lighting the lamp is a way to surrender negativity and ego to the divine. It is also believed to attract the blessings of deities such as Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga, and to bring prosperity and wellbeing to the home.
