Diwali is the occasion to keep away hatred and spread love among the people. To mark the celebration, every spot is illuminated with sparkling diyas which bring the supernatural brightness and joy with the hope of finding light in darkness, and spreading love amidst hatred. Some people use decorated light candles, some decorated diya or clay lamps, and other decorative lights and put them in their windows for the festival. Traditionally people use 'earthen lamps' with cotton wicks and oil to light up the dark night.
