From the potter’s wheel, to your home, the Diwali diya travels a long way. It is traditionally made with clay and lights up our homes with festive cheer.

It takes a lot of effort to make this clay diya.

Here’s a video from the Potters’ Village in New Delhi shot on Samsung Galaxy Note10+ that captures the effort that goes into creating a diya.
