‘Vocal for Local’: Reasi’s Rahul Keeps Traditional Diya-Making Alive

Inspired by the ‘Vocal for Local’ initiative, Rahul and his family in Reasi are preserving the traditional craft of handmade earthen diyas, keeping a generations-old tradition alive ahead of Diwali.

The family works throughout the year to prepare, shape, dry and fire the clay lamps, which provide a source of livelihood while preserving traditional skills. At a time when electric lights and mass-produced decorations are increasingly popular, Rahul hopes more people will choose locally made diyas to support artisans and their families.

For Rahul’s family, every diya represents more than a festive light—it reflects their heritage, hard work and commitment to passing the craft on to future generations.

#WATCH | Reasi, J&K: On Farooq Abdullah's remarks, BJP leader Ajay Nanda says, "I would describe the statement made by Farooq Abdullah yesterday as a despicable, anti-national remark—it cannot be condemned strongly enough. Farooq Abdullah has a history of making such anti-national statements, though in the past, social media was not as powerful as it is today. In this era of social media, nothing remains hidden. There is widespread outrage across the entire country over this. I believe the strictest possible action should be taken against Farooq Abdullah... For years, he has managed to remain in government by deceiving the public in this manner. Such behavior is no longer tolerable. He sings the praises of a nation that is our enemy—a country where people struggle to afford even two square meals a day... Since the Modi government took office, the situation in Kashmir has changed, and his brand of politics has failed completely—a reality he cannot accept. By making these anti-national statements, he continues to try to mislead the people; he must face the strictest possible action..."

The group associated with Bishnoi needs to understand that even if they have a problem with an actor or a few people around them, they cannot unnecessarily target the entire film industry...
