It is mostly used to decorate houses during Tihar in Nepal and Dipawali in India. In the twentieth century, it became very popular as a first name for male Hindus. A diya, divaa, deepa, deepam, or deepak is an oil lamp, usually made from clay, with a cotton wick dipped in ghee or vegetable oils. Diyas are native to India and are often used in Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Zoroastrian religious festivals such as Diwali or the Kushti ceremony.
