A Deepak is an oil lamp, usually made from clay, with a cotton wick dipped in ghee or vegetable oils. Clay Diyas are often used temporarily as lighting for special occasions, while Diyas / Oil Lamps made of brass are permanent fixtures in home and temples. Diyas are native to India, and are often used in Hindu, Sikh, Jain and Zoroastrian religious festivals such as Diwali.
Lighting a Diya or a Deepak signifies the submission of one’s soul to the supreme power. The oil in the Diya represents the dirt ( greed, jealousy, hatred, lust etc. ) that humans tend to nurture while the cotton wick is symbolic of the Aatman ( self ). So in order to attain enlightenment and unite with the Brahman ( the supreme power ), one must get rid of materialism.
A Diya also symbolizes knowledge. An ignorant person would often remain in dark and wouldn’t be able to keep a check on the events happening around him. It is only when he feels the need to gain some knowledge that he will realize the purpose of his existence.
