Cultural and Religious Significance

In Sri Lankan Buddhism

In Sri Lankan Buddhist practice, oil lamps (pahan) are lit as offerings to the Buddha, representing the light of wisdom dispelling ignorance. Lighting a lamp is an act of merit (puñña) often performed during poya days, Vesak, or temple visits. Families also light lamps at home to bless loved ones and create a peaceful, sacred atmosphere.

In Hinduism

In Hindu culture, oil lamps are central to pujas, aartis, and festivals like Diwali, Navaratri, and Karthika Deepam. The flame symbolizes the divine presence and is believed to ward off darkness and negative energy. Lighting a diya is a daily practice in many Hindu households—bringing clarity, purity, and blessings.

Across the World

Today, brass oil lamps are used globally in yoga studios, meditation spaces, and spiritual homes. Beyond their religious roots, they are valued for their calming glow, natural beauty, and connection to ancient mindfulness traditions.
