I want to know how to make NANDA DEEPA, the lamp which will light on the water. If anyone know about it please tell me.

Take a glass tumbler and fill it with a little more than of 3/4 water, pour oil on the top of this water (as you know the oil will stay on top) then cover the glass tumbler with a tin sheet that has a slit in the centre and put the wick through the centre into the tumbler. All you have to do is keep on filling the water or oil whichever gets less and the flame will keep on burning always... This is what my mother used to do - any other suggestions??

Thank you very much Judeline for your ideas, I will try this. Is there any other way to do using candle and sticks in the water filled glass tumbler. I heard of it and I want to know in detail.
