Credit to Potters


It's Festive season in India



It's a time to help Potters. A great job of giving shape , carving utensils without thinking that my hands are becoming dirty, this is a profession of a potter we must respect.




A potter or a pottery maker is a craft artist who  makes dishes,pots,vase,mugs using their artistic talent. Sometimes they produce functional crafts, occasional crafts. It’s his hard work  and imagination who creates and turns a clay or mud into  beautiful final product .
How can we help them? It’s simple  by buying the things they are making in the particular season.


Why I purchased clay objects (toys)


I purchased few clay objects (toys) to decorate my Pooja ghar .(a place where we worship and pray god) It was a great feeling that buying these things I helped poor and needy people. These objects I purchased on Janmashtami, which we celebrate as Lord Krishna's birthday.😍😍























Though my children are grown up, me and my husband wanted to  replace old toys we brought a few this year and will add more toys in our collection.


This is the season ( Diwali) when in India we use to purchase diyas made up of clay. 


Coming to the main topic, I want to share you one thing that in India Diwali is known as a great Hindu  festival of lights which is celebrated throughout the country.

 Diwali or Deepawali means row ((avali) of lighted lamps (actually clay lamps made by Potters). We lit candles also but the beauty and importance of clay lamps no one can deny. I wish everyone  should buy the creative ‘diyas' or 'deepaks' from these pottery makers so that they can also turn their festival into a great and memorable event.
