Lámpara de aceite — Historia y Análisis

El fuego, al igual que el agua, desempeña un papel importante en los rituales. Las lámparas de aceite a menudo se cuelgan frente a la efigie de un dios, tanto en casa como en un templo. Una parte esencial de una ceremonia de templo hindú (puja) es adorar al dios moviendo una lámpara frente a su imagen.

En la antigua India, las lámparas eran los regalos más populares para los templos, junto con vacas para suministrar mantequilla clarificada (el combustible).
