The Story That Changed Everything

Until last year, my grandmother, Dadi, had only one rule in the house:
"Koi bhi pooja, chhoti ho ya badi, diya toh mitti ka hi jalega."

Whether it was Diwali, Navratri, a simple Tuesday prayer, or even a new job interview day, she believed a diya lit in a mitti lamp brought warmth, purity, and good fortune.

Her mornings started with shlokas and the scent of agarbatti. Her first action of the day was lighting a diya in front of our tulsi plant. The mitti diya, soaked in oil, placed carefully on a small silver plate, it was more than a habit; it was an emotion.

But slowly, those emotions began turning into small frustrations.

The diyas started leaking oil, blackened the pooja shelves, and broke after just a few uses. The mess became part of the ritual. Cleaning the soot off the mandir shelf took more time than the prayer itself.

Still, Dadi didn’t complain.
Until last Diwali.

She was setting up 24 diyas across the house, on the stairs, in the window frames, near the tulsi, and around the rangoli. Halfway through lighting them, nine had already cracked.
Oil was dripping onto the floor. One diya even tilted and singed the edge of her saree.

That night, she looked at Maa and softly said,
"Roshni se zyada toh tension ho gayi hai iss mitti ke diye se."

It hit us all.

That moment changed how our family looked at diyas, not just for Diwali, but for every sacred moment.

Why Mitti Diyas Are Losing Their Place

The Problems We All Face with Traditional Mitti Diyas

• They crack under heat

• They leak oil and leave stains on surfaces

• They’re difficult to clean and mostly disposable

• They leave black soot marks in temples

• Gifting them often results in oil damage during transit

• They don’t suit modern pooja setups or minimal homes

These are not one-time issues. They’re daily, recurring hassles, especially when you're trying to focus on the prayer, not on cleaning after it.

Even elders like Dadi, who once swore by them, started looking for something better.
