I also love checking out what's new in the market for diyas and lamps...
Recently I picked up these small glass oil lamps. It's a small flower shaped glass container with enough space for two tablespoons of oil. On top of it goes a detachable metal flower-shaped wick holder!
Placing them on a terracotta plate and scattering white rose petals makes it a lovely center of interest.
Love the floral pattern the light and glass together create:-)
You could also place them on small traditional coasters and line them on your window-sill or entrance...
Here I have placed it on small framed 'Patachitra' painting.

The lamps are lovely Archana. Gorgeous pics...love your arrangements :)
Hi Archana.. Lovely arrangement.. I have a similar one with a yellow glass which is lying idle.. i can't wait to see the pattern it would make when its lit up.. :)
I see another type one on http://www.grtjewels.com/product/whats-new/pooja-collections/kubera-vilakku.aspx#foot, and it costs ~18,000 Rs.
Anon~ The GRT one I am guessing is 22K gold!
You get silver ones too:-)
Amazing as usual.. Need I say more!! :-)
