Jaipur potters ramp up diya output ahead of Diwali 2026

Artisan families in Jaipur's Jaysinghpura village are working overtime to meet rising demand for traditional earthen diyas ahead of Diwali on November 8. Potters mix yellow and black clay from local ponds, shaping and firing lamps in kilns. Despite rising production costs, demand for handmade diyas remains strong over Chinese alternatives, sustaining a generations-old craft.
