People thought that lanterns could only be lit during Buddhist holidays or ceremonies. But actually, lanterns can be lit every evening or night. These lanterns can be hung on gates, fences, doors, windows, or the roof, or any place an individual wants to adorn with these delightful creations.

They are for beauty, to pay respect to Buddha images, to make one's home or mansion brighter and for propitious purposes.
