• Symbol of Light Over Darkness: This is the most profound and universal symbolism of a diya. It represents the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. This is central to festivals like Diwali, where rows of diyas are lit to commemorate Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya and the victory of light.
• Divine Presence and Invocation: Lighting a diya is an invocation of divine energy. The flame is considered an embodiment of Agni (the fire deity) and a messenger between the devotee and the divine. It symbolizes the continuous presence of divine energy.
• Purity and Sanctification: The act of lighting a diya is believed to purify the environment and the mind. It dispels negative energies and creates a sacred, auspicious atmosphere, essential for prayers (puja) and rituals.
• Aarti (Ritual Waving of Light): Diyas are fundamental to Aarti ceremonies, where the lit lamp is ritually waved before deities as an offering of light and veneration. Devotees then typically pass their hands over the flame and touch their forehead to receive blessings.
