#FestiveEdit: 7 Contemporary Diyas To Add A Modern Twist To Your Celebrations

Contemporary, modern diyas are making big waves this season, and that's why we love this brass and crystal one. The oil/incense holder is crafted out of brass, plated in gold, while the outer petals are in an intricate crystal pattern which emits a rather enchanting design when the diya is lit.

This one by Muun Home is a minimal and sophisticated take on a diya that is perfect if you don't want to litter your entire home with festive decor and wish to keep it simple. This one near a temple area, or on a side table with its pink base will do just the trick when set on rose petals to amp up its look. It's also available in blue and amber colours.

We simply love this diya stand that comes with a traditional carving but with a modern flair, thanks to the stem; while sticking to its contemporary tag being a refresher from the typical terracotta ones. Made of brass, this set of three diya urli is slightly expensive, but since it's on sale, we'd say it'll make for a perfect addition to your festive decor.

Not a diya as much as it is a tea light holder, we chose this one because of its unique wooden frame. It's perfect for people who do not wish to bother with the messiness of oil and cotton and want to stick to tea light candles. This can easily be used all year round too and a good gift for someone who loves their candles and candle holders.

Pocket-friendly and beautiful, this diya set has six pieces crafted in quality brass but aren't heavy. The crimpled design honestly reminds us of sea shells. You can also use these as a tea candle holder if you wish to stay more mess-free. Just arrange these on a bed of marigold flower petals and you will be good to go for your Diwali party decor. 

For folks looking for the the most unpresumptuous diyas set—these ones from Ellementry are the perfect pick. They are tiny, made from crystal glass and look lovely when lit with the crystal glistening under the shine of the flame. For INR 1,490, you are getting 24 diyas which is a pretty solid deal considering these are reusable and can be used for less traditional occasions like dinner parties too.

We love the interplay of colours and textures with the white marble and the polished brass. The tear shape looks so sleek and clean with the smooth marble finish. Sophisticated to the core, these give quiet luxury and are perfect for displaying as accents when not in use. 

Spiritual but sleek, this Om-shaped diya is perfect for the mandir and super convenient to use too because of the elongated handle. Unique yet elegant, it will instantly be a focal point for your pujas. The base is quite stable and is crafted from durable metal so you need not worry about it being flimsy.

This diya set is absolutely stunning and has our heart for its use of ceramic. The gold and the floral motif look so whimsical together and the flat, elongated shape adds a certain modernity to it. This set of four diyas is great for gifting too and comes with a small bottle of oil and cotton wicks too!
