Known as the Festival of Lights, candles and diyas are used during the festival to signify supernatural brightness which is believed to bring joy with the hope of finding light in darkness, achieving knowledge where there is ignorance and spreading love amongst hatred. In Hinduism light signifies all the goodness that exists, therefore Diwali candles are burned throughout the day and into the night to ward off darkness and evil. Homes are traditionally filled with candles and lights when celebrating Diwali; some homes may use diyas and oil lamps whilst others may use decorated light candles.

There are two accounts to the story behind the Festival of Lights; in North India candles were lit to welcome back holy Lord Rama’s return after a twelve year exile. In South India Goddess Durga’s triumph over the demon Narakasura, good over evil, brought back the light of knowledge and truth to mankind. To help you celebrate Diwali TheIncenseStore.com has a huge collection of Diwali candles, holders and lamps to adorn your home, each with their own style and colours so you will always find the perfect candles to light up your home.
