Diwali lights

Hindu celebration lamps

Diwali lights are the lamps, candles, and string lights used to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights.

Traditional oil lamps called diyas line windowsills and doorways, while modern celebrations often include electric lights and lanterns.

The lights symbolize the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil: The whole neighborhood was glowing with Diwali lights.
