News India Live, Digital Desk: The great festival of lights, Diwali, is just around the corner, and the tradition of lighting the house with lamps on this day has been going on for centuries. But often a question comes to our mind – is it more auspicious to light a ghee lamp or an oil lamp on Diwali? After all, what is the best thing to get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi? It is not just a matter of a lamp, but it is an important part of our faith and tradition. Let us talk about this in some depth and understand what is its real importance.

Ghee lamp: symbol of prosperity and purity

If we talk about religious beliefs, lighting a lamp of pure cow ghee has always been considered the best. It is a symbol of prosperity, purity and positive energy. Ghee is considered to be the purest form of fire element, and when it burns, it spreads positivity in the environment. It is believed that lighting a ghee lamp to please Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali is most fruitful. If you want happiness, prosperity, wealth and peace in your home, then you should light a ghee lamp in front of Goddess Lakshmi.

• Where to light the ghee lamp: It is considered very auspicious to light a ghee lamp mainly at the worship place of the house, in front of the idol of Goddess Lakshmi and at the main entrance of the house. It is said that with this, Mother Lakshmi becomes pleased and enters the house.
• For whom: Only a ghee lamp should be offered to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, Lord Ganesha and other deities.

Oil lamp: For relief from Saturn and troubles

This does not mean that oil lamp is less auspicious. Actually, oil lamp has its own significance and it is lit on special occasions and to please the gods. Generally, mustard oil or sesame oil is used for lamps. Lighting an oil lamp is considered auspicious for Shanidev and other trouble-relieving deities. It is helpful in removing sorrow, disease and negative energy.

• Where to light oil lamp: Lighting an oil lamp outside the house or at places where there is fear of evil forces is considered auspicious. For example, a lamp of sesame or mustard oil is lit in a Hanuman temple or at any place where you want to ward off any negative influence.
• For whom: If you want to get relief from Shani Dosh, Pitra Dosh or any other trouble, then lighting an oil lamp in front of Shanidev or Hanumanji can be beneficial.

So, what to do on Diwali?

Now the question is, what should be done on Diwali? Both pundits and religious experts are unanimous that during Diwali, you should light a lamp of pure cow’s ghee in the main puja room and in front of Goddess Lakshmi. This makes Mother Lakshmi extremely happy and brings happiness and prosperity to the house. At the same time, if you want, you can use oil lamps to illuminate the rest of your house or to worship those gods and goddesses for whom oil is considered auspicious.

The conclusion is that ghee lamp is the best to get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi on the holy festival of Diwali. But oil lamp also has its own importance, which you can use for special worship. The most important thing is your faith and devotion, which is greater than any lamp. Fill your house with lights on Diwali night and get the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.
