Earthenware that connects you to your roots, this beautiful Peacock Magic Lamp from the Land of Tigers (Ranthambhore National Park) is sure to liven up your living spaces!
Magic diyas are magical because the oil for lighting is filled from an opening in the base, while the lamp is lit from a small opening on the front/side. Check out the video before first use. To fill oil, invert the lamp, block the wick opening on side/front as you pour oil from the opening in the base, invert and slide an oil-soaked wick from the wick-opening and light!
