#1 Keeping traditions alive 

When we think of Diwali lights for home, the first thing that comes to mind are the iconic traditional diyas made of clay. These small oil lamps have been used for centuries and are symbolic of dispelling darkness and bringing light into our lives.

These are a #1 go-to for most people during Diwali and will continue to be for years to come. You simply can’t deny that traditional clay diyas have a way of fitting in perfectly, bringing the true essence of Diwali into your home. Looking for more reasons to choose clay or wax diyas? Read on!

• Wax and clay diyas for Diwali offer a rustic charm that instantly brings a touch of tradition to any home. 
• They can be kept anywhere! Arrange them around the perimeter of your home—along window sills, balconies, or in the garden for a serene, glowing effect.  
• Even indoors: Consider placing them on decorative trays or using them as centerpieces on your dining table or entryway. 
• The soft flickering of these diyas provides a warm, inviting glow that transforms any space into a festive wonderland.

Want to take it up a notch and start a new tradition this Diwali? Opt for brass diyas! Just as traditional as clay diyas, they come with the added bonus of being passed down through generations, making them a perfect way to begin a meaningful tradition!

Go for a brass diya for Diwali light decoration that fits perfectly in your home. Choose from:

• Simple, plain single wick brass diya 
• Beautiful five-wick diya stand with elegant toppers like peacock and more
• Hanging diyas
• Diyas with intricate patterns and details of deities: Kamakshi diya or Shankh Chakra diya

#2 Going the Safe, Convenient & Modern Way

Have kids running around the house or overly curious pets? Is this keeping you back from lighting up your space? We got you! 

For those who love the look of diyas but are concerned about the safety of open flames or want a more convenient option, battery-operated light diyas are perfect.  Are you wondering why you should choose Battery-Operated Diyas?

• These diyas give you the same warm glow without the hassle of constantly refilling oil or worrying about fire hazards.  
• They can be placed almost anywhere—around indoor plants, on shelves, or even as part of your puja decorations.
• They can be reused! Put them away and take them out again next festive season easily. 
• Use battery-operated diyas on your balcony or patio, where you might be concerned about wind blowing out traditional flames.  
• Keep them lit all day long! Without the worry of real flames, you can keep your space lit up all day!
