<holidayfyi-glossary slug="diyas"></holidayfyi-glossary>Small oil lamps made of clay, traditionally used during Diwali — the Hindu Festival of Lights — to illuminate homes and temples, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. Rows of diyas are placed in doorways, windowsills, and around rangoli patterns. The lighting of diyas is also central to Kali Puja and Lakshmi Puja during the Diwali season.
