Spiritual & cultural context
Symbolizes the offering of light and knowledge to the divine.
The name Deepanjali is a beautiful combination of two Sanskrit words 'Deepa' (meaning lamp or light) and 'Anjali' (meaning offering). In Hindu culture, offering aapi (or aarti) with deepanjali is a significant ritual. When we light a lamp and perform the aarti, we believe that the divine presence graces the surroundings, dispelling darkness and ignorance, and bestows blessings. The term deepanjali is also used figuratively to refer to the act of sharing knowledge and wisdom with others, much like the way a lamp casts light in a dark room.
