The best method is:
Use pure cow ghee to light the lamp
The next best option is pure sesame oil (gingelly oil)
The scriptures say:
If we light a lamp using cow ghee, it brings all auspicious results and success
If we use sesame oil, it helps remove inauspiciousness (amangalya) from our life
There is also a statement:
“Goghṛte sarveṣṭa phala siddhiḥ, amangalya haraṁ tailam.”
👉 Best: Use cow ghee
👉 Next: Use sesame oil
👉 Both are good and give spiritual benefits
