Paisley pattern diya: Terracotta Diya by Dolon Kundu

Dolon Kundu, Terracotta maestro in the diya art models a terracotta diya with a paisley pattern, petals carved inside, and a floral veil border. The paisley pattern, also known as “mango” or “buta,” has a rich history and symbolism. It is believed to have originated in Persia and is often associated with growth and fertility due to its resemblance to a budding plant or a teardrop. In the context of a diya, the paisley pattern symbolizes the nurturing and growth of light, knowledge, and positive energy. The petals carved inside the diya symbolize the beauty and vibrancy of nature. In Indian culture, flowers are often associated with purity, love, and growth. The petals represent the blossoming of positivity and the spreading of good vibes as the diya is lit. The floral veil border adds a touch of elegance and delicacy to the diya, signifying the fragility and beauty of existence, reminding individuals to appreciate the present moment and the light they bring into their lives.
