A clay diya (or "diya") is a traditional oil lamp used primarily in India and other parts of South Asia, especially during Hindu festivals like Diwali. It is a small, bowl-shaped lamp made of baked clay, designed to hold oil (often mustard oil or ghee) and a cotton wick. When lit, it symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
