Diwali is known as the festival of lights because on this day, every house lights lamps to make sure that there is brightness and light everywhere. Diwali Deeya aims to do the same on your iDevice. This app lets you interact with a lamp on your iDevice, which you can light up by simply swiping with your finger. Swiping again, extinguishes the lamp. You can also click on the Menu button to set change the type of deeya, set a different background wallpaper, change the theme song, etc. There are four types of deeya, five different backgrounds, and four traditional Diwali songs to play in the background. The app also provides information about the history of this festival for those who are interested. The app will be updated to include more backgrounds, songs, and deeyas, in addition to having multiple deeyas on the screen at once.
