Mangal deevo has a single wick lamp that is lit and waved in a circular motion right after the Arati. The flame is lit on a cotton wick soaked in oil. When the wick is lit, it illuminates the face of the Jina. In this manner, we wish that it would illuminate our hearts with truth and compassion.
The single lamp is also a symbol of kevaljnän (infinite knowledge and liberated souls.
