Easy way to light up your space - Tea Light Holders
Hindu traditions are closely tied to the religious beliefs and culture of the region. Fire is worshipped and considered a deity in its own - as it destroys and then creates anew. Most of the religious ceremonies involve offering prayer to Fire God, and lighting up evenings with diyas (clay pots lit with tea lights, or wick and ghee/oil) to ward off evil. Whether it is a worship ritual, an auspicious occasion or offering final rites to deceased, no prayer is complete without Fire. In fact, many Hindus believe that one should not blow away diyas with their breath as it disrespectful and should use their hands or candle snuffer instead.
The Hindu festival Diwali is often referred to as "Festival of Lights". One can observe a line up of candles/diyas in every Hindu house on the festival evening though in modern times, these have often been replaced by LED lights and other decorative lights. These beautiful diyas/lights are symbolic of the journey to enlightenment and are believed to illuminate the path for Hindu deities (Lakshmi and Ganesh) visiting each home on the auspicious night, warding off the evil that may become active on the new moon night.
