The light of hope ---The festival of lights Festival of lights brings cheer to potters Potters are optimists that the Diyas hold their own distinct attraction and thus it is unlikely that they can ever be replaced by electrical lights. People may try out 'new things', but it is not likely that they will abandon clay lamps. "Initially, there were 50 varieties of earthen lamps and plaster of paris made idols. We have developed the variety to over 150 now. We make statues of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha. They are in great demand," said one potter. These mud-baked Diyas come at quite cheap prices. One can buy about a dozen Diyas within Rs.10 at many places. But there are many types of ornamental clay and terracotta lamps that cost up to two dollars per dozen.
