Candles for peace.  email this discussion to a friend?

Hey I was just watching "My Name is Khan" the other day and I was just wondering why do people burn candles when people die? I was trying search about it as well and I was not able to find something concrete.

Does any one have any idea why is it done so ?

it is a kind of tradition especially in Asian countries. here in our place, it serves as a way to respect the dead and to serve as a medium in expressing our sorrow. it also makes a general sorrowful impression to the dead as it lightens up the dark episodes of the family losing their love ones. i hope this explanation will help your curiosity a bit!
