Diya Lamps are oil lamps lit during the festival of Diwali to symbolizeprosperity in the new year.They are small pots made from clay and could be described as‘thumb pots’ as they are made by pressing the thumb into a ball ofclay and shaping it. They are then baked in a kiln until they becomewhat is called ‘bisque’ fired, firm and ready for painting.They are then painted bright colours, filled with oil and lit for Diwaliin October or November. The light is intended to cancel out thedarkness as we enter the darker months
