In our area, I have never seen this concept of pouring water and keeping the lamp in the middle. This I have not seen either in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh. But in some temples, they mid-small half openings in the walls from inside. These are like very small almirahs in the wall. In those cavities, Diyas are kept and lighted. This will be done more in temples. But in some old houses also we have seen such cavities and in the nights the housewives used to keep lights in those cavities. Lighting diyas in the temple will be more in the month of Kathika in both the Telugu states.
