So as far as keeping up with the tradition goes, earthen diyas have no match. However, why they are number one in the list of Vastu-approved materials for Diwali diyas is not entirely based on this sentiment. Earthen lamps have so many other characteristics that enable them stay on top of this list. Made of organic materials, earthen diyas cause no harm to the environment; their surface remains cool even though they remain lit a lot longer than diyas made of other materials.

Dough diya
