Shops are bustling with Diwali cheer,
Guests are welcomed with warmth and near.
As you celebrate this festive night,
Keep in mind a humble sight.
Before you step in a big, grand store,
Look around, there’s so much more—
See those simple stalls by the side,
They crafted for you with quiet pride.
Take some earthen lamps they made,
Give their hands some honor, paid.
Celebrate their Diwali too,
And leave the haggling just for you.
If a lamp’s not perfectly round,
Remember, machines they haven’t found.
Handcrafted goods, we pay the cost,
For brand names high, no matter the loss.
Yet here’s the skill you wear each day,
That rural hands shaped in their own way.
So take these lamps, handmade with care,
And let their humble light share.
Spread your gifts and give some clay,
Help their Diwali shine, too, this way.
You’re the one to make their worth rise,
Buy direct, avoid middlemen’s lies.
For hands that work with gentle pride,
Let your Diwali bring them inside.
