What is a diya?
A diya is an oil lamp used by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists in religious rituals and during holidays like Diwali.
Diyas are made from clay or mud and have cotton wicks dipped in either ghee or oil. The warm, bright glow of a diya is considered to represent prosperity, knowledge, and wisdom.
