Diyas or earthen lamps are arranged in rows on thresholds and windowsills. Light is a symbol of positive energy and hope.

The light from the lamps also empowers us to commit to good deeds, making us closer to the divinity.

Diyas and candles are lit in every household. In fact, the name Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Dipavali’, which means ‘row of lamps’.
