A Diya is a traditional oil lamp originating from the Indian subcontinent. Primarily made of clay or mud, though some modern versions can be metal or brass. A small, cup-shaped container with a pinched spout or open well to hold the oil and wick. Serves as a light source, but holds special significance in religious and cultural practices. Diya's can be plain or elaborately decorated with paint, intricate designs, and sometimes even beads. Holds importance in Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Used in prayers, rituals, ceremonies, and festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights.
