What is a Diya, and how does it relate to Diwali?
The diya is an earthen oil lamp, and it is used during Diwali; it symbolizes winning light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. That this flame assumes a vital form of the diya is simply because it symbolizes knowledge and wisdom.One of the forms of diya is of immense importance, which is the Akhand Diya. “Akhand” means unbroken, and this is what the name says: it is a diya designed to run continuously through the festival and not go out. In Hindu households and temples, this particular Diwali-diya is held in high esteem for the spiritual significance.
Importance of Akhand Diyas During Diwali
It is a symbol of devotion, continuation, and endurance rather than just being an ornament. The good fortune associated with positivity, peace, and prosperity in the home is believed to be brought by lighting an Akhand Diya. Many families light this diya along with their puja rituals during Diwali in their homes.It is usually maintained in the puja room or on a central altar, where it burns incessantly throughout the long duration of the festival. Rules governing Akhand Diyas specify that once they are ignited, they should not be blown off and will burn continuously; hence they are often placed in an area not exposed to direct wind or elements. The flame is said to invite the presence of Goddess Lakshmi, which auspiciously brings wealth and fortune.
