Diyas are a permanent fixture in Indian homes and temples. They are are lit during prayers, rituals, and ceremonies. They are especially important during festivals, such as Diwali, when diyas are lit to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. The diya is believed to invite divine blessings, dispel negativity, and bring harmony to the household. Lighting diyas during the worship of deities is a religious tradition. According to Sanatan traditions, lighting lamps in the morning and evening is considered auspicious and beneficial.
Lighting a diya at dawn or dusk is ideal, as these times are considered sacred and are believed to strengthen the positive vibrations in our home. Apart from the worshipping rituals, people who belive in astrology, do suggest some remedies related to lighting lamps. I have seen many people following them to get benefitted in different ways. Adhering to these remedies brings positive energy to the home and peace and happiness to life.

Some believe that lighting lamps with specific oils or on certain days of the week can help appease specific planets and mitigate their negative effects.
