This Diwali, you can try a different kind of diya besides the traditional earthen lamps. You can try out designer diyas made in an eco-friendly way, decorated without any harmful colours or adornments.
Cow Dung Diyas
Cow dung diyas are a completely natural and environmentally friendly product. Clay obtained for traditional diyas can still erode the soil. Compared to clay, cow dung is more sustainable and ecologically friendly. After it is used, the remaining part can be mixed with water to make plant fertilizer, claim some of the manufacturers.
Bamboo Diyas
This Diwali, you may use 'Bamboo Diya' to adorn and light up your home, office, and favourite spots. This eco-friendly bamboo diya is handcrafted by artists from Tripura, largely from Sepahijala district's south Taibandal. One set costs Rs 240, according to information supplied by the Chief Secretary of Tripura on his official Twitter handle.
Soy Wax Candles
Uma is more than simply a candle maker she uses a combination of botanical components harvested and farmed in India.According to the maker, Uma aromatherapy candles are inspired by holistic therapeutic smells and techniques and include Ayurvedic wisdom. These soy candles come in aromas such as rose, sandalwood, lavender, etc.
Terracotta Candles
Terra candles exude a rustic beauty, and the aroma of scented candles is an ideal choice for festivals and special events when a large number of people gather in a place. The candles are usually made of extracts of fragrant herbs, plant roots, aromatic barks, and flower petals.
Dokra Diyas
Dokra handicrafts are distinguished by their simplicity, folk themes, and creative designs and patterns. Dokra employs the 'lost wax casting' (cire perdue) method, one of the oldest methods of non-ferrous metal casting known to human civilization. Dokra artefacts are made in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal and other places in India. Try their designer diyas for a change.
