Hand-Painted Mandala Diwali Diyas

Since I paint these on natural terracotta, I finish every piece with a coat of high-quality gloss varnish. This adds a nice shine, makes them heat-resistant, and prevents the lamps from soaking up oil or ghee, so they stay vibrant and clean throughout your celebrations.

I love the process of turning simple clay lamps into something that feels special for Diwali. Every set comes in a box of four, and because I paint each one by hand, no two pieces are exactly the same. You will find intricate mandala and dotwork patterns on the inner cavity and rim, using a festive palette of red, teal, orange, and gold.

Each diya is roughly 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter, making them the perfect size for traditional lighting. I use durable, waterproof acrylics for the designs, ensuring the colours pop even when lit. Whether you are setting up a festive corner for puja or just adding a warm touch to your living room, these are built to be reused year after year.

My work is a slow, steady process. I carefully bubble-wrap each lamp to make sure they reach you safely, whether you are here in Kochi or Bengaluru. If you have a specific colour theme for your home decor, feel free to reach out, and I can see how I can match your festive setup.
