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.
