How to light a diya — the right way, every day.
Turn daily lamp-lighting into a deliberate practice. The correct direction, the right wick and a simple, repeatable ritual — so every flame is lit with intention.
Four simple steps.
Clean the lamp
Wipe the brass diya clean and place a fresh cotton wick inside, drawn toward your chosen direction.
Add the oil
Pour a little Pancha Deepam into the diya so the wick is well soaked but not flooded.
Face the right way
Position the wick toward East or North for daily worship — never face the flame South for daily pooja.
Light with intention
Light the wick with devotion, chant your shloka, and let the flame burn naturally and undisturbed.
Direction carries the blessing.
The way the flame faces shapes the intention of the prayer. For daily worship, choose East or North.

Which wick should I use?
