Description

A handmade diya is a traditional oil lamp, typically made from clay, that is hand-shaped for religious ceremonies like diwali or for decorative purposes. These small, rustic lamps have a shallow bowl-like structure to hold oil or ghee and a cotton wick, which is lit to create a warm, bright glow that symbolizes light over darkness and prosperity. Handmade diyas can be simple, natural clay pots, or they can be decorated with paint, mirrors, or other embellishments.
