Diya Thali(plate) for Diwali

 

After long time I made Diya thali for Diwali celebration. This is a festive season. And i just love to decorate my house with Rangoli, diff diya's, lamps.

For making this Thali, i use ceramic clay plate for base. And 8 molds of Diya. Even i am using Tulasi mold in center. It looks perfect with all Diya's.

I use metalic colours, golden colour and kundans to decorate it. First i colour all diya's and then i stick them to my plate.

These molds are easily avaible in market now a days. Even we can get alredy coloured mold too. But I love to colour them. For this one i am using red, green, white colour oil-paint.

Diya for Diwali festival

It's a festival time!!! "Diwali", India's biggest festival. This is a festival of Lights, Colours. For this occasion we decorate our house with different Diya's or lamp , Rangoli. We make so many types of sweets.

I bring the mold of Diya from market, it was only brown in colour. I used red, yellow, green, white oilpaints to colour this. But before colouring them we need to wash them with water, otherwise paint will be not spead evenly.

This Thali i made for my wedding. We use this Thali in every Puja during wedding. This Thali is containing some small bouls for Kumkum, Haldi, Mehendi etc. There is small Diya & Dhoopbatti stand and Kalash. These things are very imp in Puja Thali. I use normal steel plate for this. The base colour red is oilpaint. The purpose of using the oilpaint is it should not wash if we wash the plate. It should remain there forever. And why this Thali is different from others that i have done Cone Painting on it. I made Cone like Mehendi cones and fill it with colours and directly apply on the plate. I also use different size Kundans or Stones to decorate it. For Cone painting it tooks so much time and patience and also very good painting skill. Or else it can really messed up. Also it needs Mehendi skills or practise to hold the cone and paint it. The consistancy of the colours play very imp part while cone painting. But it looks very neat very beautiful. It gives really very diff effect than others.
