There is a well-known ceremony for worshiping Lord Yama that involves burning a four-sided clay lamp or diya outside the home and sprinkling gangajal around it to request Lord Yama’s blessings.
According to astrology, this clay lamp should be oriented south-west. It is the direction of Lord Yama Dev, and then pray for the members’ health and well-being. It is thought that lighting this diya will provide relief from early death and the fear of death.
