Diyas from India for Diwali and every celebration

Diyas from India are the small oil lamps lit for Diwali, weddings and prayers. A row of flickering diyas is one of the most recognisable images of Indian festivals, and they have become popular far beyond Indian homes as a symbol of light and celebration.

When buyers ask us about diyas, we usually ask whether customers will light them with oil, use them with wax, or display them. That decides the material and finish.

Types of diyas we offer

Terracotta diyas

Moulded from clay and baked, then left natural or hand painted in bright colours. Simple, traditional and affordable.

Brass diyas

Cast and engraved brass diyas from Moradabad, plain or ornate, that last for years.

Wax-filled diyas

Ready-to-use diyas filled with wax and a wick, the easiest option for shoppers who are new to diyas.

Decorative diyas

Diyas with mirror work, beads or glitter, made for gifting and display.

Gift packs

Diyas are often sold in sets of six, twelve or more, packed in printed boxes for gifting. We can pack them with candles or incense as a festive bundle.

Planning for Diwali

Diwali falls in October or November. Artisans are busiest from August, so please confirm orders by early summer for timely delivery.

Safety

We print safe-use advice on packaging: never leave a lit diya unattended, and place it on a heat-safe surface.

Pairing

Diyas pair beautifully with tea light holders, brass candle stands and brass idols for festive displays.

Minimum quantities and packing

Minimums are per design and are kept modest. Clay diyas are packed carefully to avoid chipping. Quotes are available ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF.

Questions about diyas from India

Are painted clay diyas safe to light?

Yes, when the paint is on the outside only. We confirm this for each design.

Can I order diyas in gift boxes with my brand?

Yes, in printed boxes.

When should I order?

By early summer for Diwali and Christmas.

What affects the price

Material, size, decoration and packaging. Plain terracotta diyas are the most economical; hand-painted and wax-filled diyas cost more; brass diyas are the premium option that lasts for years.

Diyas beyond Diwali

Diyas are increasingly popular for weddings, yoga studios, restaurants and Christmas tables. Wax-filled diyas in neutral colours sell well to customers who simply love the look.
