Deep Jyoti Stambha

Deep Jyoti Stambh or Deepa Stambha (Sanskrit: दीपस्तंभ, romanized: dīpastambha) is a unique piece of Hindu architectural structure, usually found in Hindu temples.

Such stambhas are erected outside the temple compound, to be illuminated with diyas on special occasions.

Some famous and unique deepa stambhas in India can be seen at the Mahalsa Temple in Ponda in Goa,[1] Shanta Durga Temple in Goa, Harsidhhi Temple at Ujjain, Tekari Temple at Dewas,[2] Khandoba Temple at Jejuri, Mangueshi Temple at Mangeshi, Sri Yellamma Renuka temple of Saundatti, Sharana Basaveshwara Temple of Gulbarga, and Banashankari Amma Temple near Badami in Karnataka — to name a few.
