Here are various types of terracotta lamps:
Here are the lamps arranged in a thali (Plate). The colors like red, yellow,green and gold are used to give the traditional look.
Here are the multilevel lamps, which are not painted. But still look beautiful.
This has very nice design. A painted fish design behind, with small idols of Ganesha and Laxmi.
And here are some lamps made of brass.
Mouse holding the lamps.Right choice to light in front of Ganesha. :-).
Don't you feel like grabbing at least one for you?
