Deep Daan Puja is the sacred practice of offering lit lamps (Deepas) to the Divine as an expression of devotion, gratitude, and surrender. In Hindu philosophy, the lamp represents knowledge, purity, hope, and the presence of the Divine, while its flame symbolizes the light of the soul that dispels ignorance and leads one toward spiritual realization.

According to the Puranas, offering lamps during the holy month of Kartik, on Dev Deepawali, Diwali, Kartik Purnima, Amavasya, Pitru Paksha, and other sacred observances is considered highly auspicious and spiritually rewarding.
