The entire concept of Diwali was born from diyas. It is needless to say but just for the records, Diyas are a type of handmade earthen lamps that are lit up with oil. The legend goes that when Lord Rama came back to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana, the people welcomed their victorious king by lighting up oil lamps.
The tradition is continued till today. Families light up their homes with diyas on Diwali to ward off evil spirits and welcome the Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi to their house. But over the years, the art of diya making has evolved. Now a days, you get diyas with the most intricate work on them. These oil lamps are mostly handmade and thus the delicacy of the work can sometimes take you by surprise.
