1. Gets rid of negativity and darkness: Rinhee said that festivals are all about togetherness and positivity, so lamps provide light, eliminating the darkness. Sadness or negative energy is symbolised by darkness, which is why it is believed that a burning lamp gives your home a joyful, secure, and lively atmosphere.
