Features of Terracotta Diyas:

1. Material:
   Terracotta Clay: Terracotta is a type of clay that is baked at high temperatures, giving it a distinct reddish-brown color. It is durable and can be shaped into various designs, making it perfect for crafting diyas.
   
2. Designs:
   Traditional: Basic bowl-shaped diyas with a broad base and a spout for the wick. These are often unpainted, showcasing the natural terracotta color.
   Decorative: These may feature intricate carvings, patterns, or be painted with bright colors like gold, red, or green. Some may also have embedded mirrors, beads, or other embellishments.
   
3. Size:
   Small to Large: Big-sized terracotta diyas can range from about 6-12 inches in diameter, making them suitable as a focal point in festive decorations.
   Depth: These diyas are generally deeper than smaller ones, allowing them to hold more oil and burn for longer periods.
   
4.Uses:
   Festivals: Perfect for Diwali, Karthika Deepam, and other festivals where light plays a symbolic role.
   Home Décor: Even outside of festivals, these diyas can be used as rustic décor pieces, especially in outdoor spaces like gardens or patios.
   Rituals: Suitable for pujas and other religious ceremonies where a larger diya is needed to symbolize the presence of light and divinity.

5. Care:

Cleaning: After use, the diya can be cleaned with warm water. If any oil stains remain, they can be scrubbed gently with a soft brush.
   Storage: Store in a dry place to avoid any damage or cracks in the terracotta.

   
 Where to Use Designer Terracotta Diyas:

Entrances: Place at the entrance of your home or temple to create a welcoming, auspicious atmosphere.
Gardens: Use them to light up garden paths or patios during festive occasions.
Puja Rooms: Place on the altar or near a deity during religious ceremonies.
