Diwali Diya simple coloring page - pngmoon

Diyas, diyos, deyas, divaas, deepams, and deepas are clay oil lamps with cotton wicks dipped in ghee or vegetable oils. Indian diyas are used during festivals such as Diwali and Kushti, which are religious festivals celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and Zoroastrians.

Clay Diyas are often used temporarily as lighting for special occasions, while brass Diyas are used permanently in homes and temples. During Diwali, diyas or candles represent enlightenment, knowledge, or wisdom. They are a part of Indian culture, as sakshi for auspicious reasons, as well as symbols of light. They are also used as decoration during the festival of lights - Diwali. Traditionally, Indians light a diya every morning and evening.
