An Akhand Diya is an oil lamp that is made to burn without stopping. People light it during pujas, festivals, and special days as a symbol of nonstop light and blessings.
The Diya should be kept in a clean place, away from wind, and filled with pure ghee or sesame oil. You should check it frequently to ensure the flame does not go out.
It depends on the size of the Diya and the amount of oil it holds. With enough oil and care, it can keep burning for many hours or even days.
If the Diya goes out by mistake, some people think it is unlucky. In that case, it should be cleaned, refilled with oil, and lit again after offering prayers.
