Hand-shaped clay oil lamps (diyas) made for Deepavali and other festivals of light.
Understand
Clay lamp (diya) making sees its busiest season ahead of Deepavali, when potter communities across Karnataka produce lamps in bulk for the festival of lights.
Potters shape lamps on a wheel from local clay, then sun-dry and often kiln-fire them before they're sold in markets in the run-up to the festival.
