Deeps (lamps) for Kartika

During the month of Kartika we offer a lamp every night to Lord Damordara.   The lamp is made of cotton and usually oil or ghee.  The lamp is then placed in a small clay holder.

Here clay items are easily available and very affordable.  But it would be simple enough to make your own deeps from clay or anything else suitable you might find around the house. 


We've decorated deeps both in playgroup and at home.


It's one of those great activities that is suitable for most ages!

This deep was decorated by Miss. S

Rolling and dipping the cotton and  making them into suitable lamps is also an activity that most children enjoy doing.  Great for their fine-motor development too!
