Diwali Icons

The celebration of lights, known as Diwali is one of the most widely enjoyed occasions in India. It is also the most celebrated festival for Hindus all across the world. In Hindu mythology, the onset of the festival is marked by the arrival of Lord Rama after defeating Ravana in a battle between virtue vs evil. In the ancient story of Ramayana, Lord Rama was exiled for fourteen years by his father under the influence of his mother. The festival Diwali is celebrated to signify Lord Rama's return to his kingdom, Ayodhya. On this day, all across the country, sweets are prepared and distributed to near and dear ones. The day is filled with lights and entertainment. People invite their friends and family to celebrate the occasion among themselves. In the spirit of the festival, all tend to find new, bedazzling clothes to wear. The children, especially, the teenagers adorn their most glittery clothes and come together to play games and light candles all throughout the streets. The bright flames from the candles and Diya Lamps are an enchanting sight to behold. To welcome an auspicious day such as Diwali in our lives, the family members come together to clean the house and prepare exquisite delicacies for the evening grand party.

Candles

Warming my hands on a dark snowy night, this candle fills me with peace and with light - Amy Ludwig

A solid wax usually in a cylindrical shape, with a wick running through its length. A candle defies as well as defines darkness. Candles were used many years ago before bulbs, they were the replacement of oil lamps. The risk of oil getting spilled was a huge feat and candles helped in reducing the associated oil tragedies. The candles also made it easy to carry the light around. It was not easy to carry the oil, wick, and lamp from one place to another and that's why candles were a marvel. The candles these days are shaped such that the wax does not spill on the ground and also, can be reused in the candle by itself, increasing the life of a candle. At Iconscout, there are multiple icons in many different colors to depict candles with or without flame. The candle icons & wax icons are available in design styles such as colored, filled, or outlined. Candle icons and Diya images can be downloaded in editable formats such as ICO, AI, PSD, PNG, etc. and can also be edited with our add-on app Icondrop.
