The significance of a lamp is truly high in Hinduism and lighting it's considered truly sacred. therefore, the lamp is surely lit before every auspicious work and during idolization. Describing the significance of the lamp in the Puranas, it has been written that the honey of the lamp is truly sacred and it's truly good to light the lamp while worshiping. piecemeal from the Puranas, the lamp is also considered truly auspicious in Vastu Shastra. Worship without lighting a lamp is considered empty. therefore, whenever any idolization is done, first the lamp is lit, and only after lighting the lamp, the idolization is started. Whenever you light a lamp during the idolization, keep in mind that indeed after the idolization is completed, the lamp should continue to burn for several hours. Because it is not considered auspicious for the lamp to cool down directly after the idolization and the longer the lamp keeps burning, the lower the benefit of idolization. The honey of the lamp is truly sacred and the light of its honey keeps the negative energy down from the house and removes all kinds of darkness from life.
