Dipavali Diwali Lantern Kandil Multicolor Paper Hanging Lantern  (40 cm X 25 cm, Pack of 1)

Hindus in earlier days set kandils afloat high, a gesture to invite the spirits of their ancestors moving around to come back home and be with them during the festival time; hence the name akasha dipa (lantern of the sky) or AkashaKandil By lighting the Lantern it is believed that during Kartika, the spirits of the dead visit their relatives' houses to wish them well; or that if they are not lit, the dead will curse their relatives to live in darkness through life. Kandils are hung for around a month from the first day of Diwali. So, 'Deepavali' means 'a row of lights'. The festival of lights signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair. On Diwali day, we decorate our homes with lights and diyas.
