Mustard oil is traditionally used in lamps lit during Deepavali

Explanation:

  • In the  ancient  India,  oils that were mostly used in lightening the oil lamps in houses were sesame and mustard.
  • Other sources like  animal fat (as in other countries) was not available as killing other animals was not acceptable.
  • It was also reason that these two oils do not emit toxic fumes and were easily available.
  • This when it came to light up the houses and the surroundings to welcome the Goddess Lakshmi on  nights of deepavali, mustard oil being cheaper was the obvious choice .
  • Scientifically it is also said that Mustard oil also works as a air purifier .
