Handcrafted Diwali gifts range from Phad platters to temple-inspired candles

Indian design studios are offering Diwali gifts such as dining platters with Phad wedding motifs, candle stands shaped like temple gopurams and a sculpture of a Nilgiri tusker. The curated finds emphasise handcrafted dining and décor pieces meant for thoughtful festive gifting instead of mass-made presents. Many pieces come from smaller Indian studios highlighting regional craft traditions.
