Diwali is the festival of lights and sweetness. It is basically a symbol of the victory of good over evil, brightness over darkness, and truth over falsity. The diyas not only make diwali, the festival of lights, but they also symbolize the supremacy and consequence of brightness over darkness.
Diya can be defined as a small earthen lamp that is specially lit on diwali for puja and decoration purposes. A cotton wick is used in diyas, and oil or ghee serves as the burning fuel. Diyas are plain and coloured, big and small, simple and fancy, and so. Diwali diyas are major attractions in this festival. Diwali celebrations are incomplete and graceless without the use of diwali diyas. Diyas were, are and will remain significant part of the diwali festival.
