The light of the lamp is also considered a symbol of peace. Therefore, lighting a lamp maintains peace in the house. The festival of Diwali, the victory of light over darkness, is still celebrated traditionally, although modernity may dominate, but on the occasion of Diwali festival, the house is illuminated only by the light of earthen lamps.
