As per folklore, there was a king named Hima whose son was predicted to die on the fourth day of his marriage. Hima’s daughter-in-law saved her husband by preventing the god of death, Yamaraj, from entering her house. She did so by placing a lot of Diyas, a heap of gold jewellery and silver coins at the door. The strong light coming from the glittering jewellery and the bright Diyas blinded Yamaraj, who appeared as a snake and he couldn’t take Hima’s son’s life. Thus, he returned back.
