Lighting Up Futures: Terracotta Diyas

Kalaiselvi and Murugan of Pondicherry were just married when the idea of their own enterprise took root. As a teacher who had taught claywork to children, working on things like cups and candles, Murugan was ready to take the leap. Now, 27 years later, they are still going strong with their offerings of perfumed candles, sachets, incense sticks and other fragrances. With natural pressed flowers and essential oils, their range of candles are a big hit in India and overseas! Their terracotta diya candles with pressed flowers are a bestseller during the Festive Season.
