PRAGATI Clay Diya Traditional Earthen Lamp Pack of 4 Pieces

Crafted with care by PRAGATI under the dedicated efforts of Pragati Mahila SHG from Thane district, this clay diya set reflects the beauty of traditional Indian craftsmanship. Each diya is shaped by skilled rural women using age-old methods passed down through generations.

These traditional earthen lamps are made using natural soil sourced locally and prepared through manual kneading and hand-moulding techniques. After shaping, the diyas are sun-dried and kiln-fired to achieve durability while maintaining their authentic rustic finish. The natural clay surface allows steady oil absorption, ensuring a stable and gentle flame during use.

Ideal for festivals, daily prayer rituals, home decor, and cultural ceremonies, these clay diyas bring warmth and positivity to any space. Their balanced structure ensures safe placement on flat surfaces, while the smooth inner bowl allows easy oil filling and cotton wick placement. The simple yet elegant design complements both traditional and modern homes.
