This Diwali, let’s celebrate not just the lights that glow in our homes — but the hands and hearts that craft them. Amid a market overflowing with factory-made décor and plastic glitz, a group of passionate women are bringing back the real spirit of festivity — one that celebrates artistry, eco-consciousness, and emotion. From hand-poured candles and cruelty-free, vegan creations to resin art and customized hampers — each product carries a story of patience, purpose, and personal touch. These small businesses remind us that true luxury lies in something made by hand, not mass-produced. So, this festive season, choose handmade, support small businesses, and fill your home with love that’s as pure as the light you celebrate.
Here are the creators lighting up this Diwali with handmade love.

Meet Rashi — Founder of Asthete Crafts, Kanpur, Turning resin into handmade art
Creativity often finds you when you least expect it — and that’s how Rashi discovered her calling. A lover of art since childhood, she stumbled upon a video of resin art on Instagram one day — and it changed everything. Curious and inspired, she began researching, experimenting, and creating — and soon, resin became her escape and her joy. Later, when motherhood made it difficult to pursue a full-time job, Rashi turned her passion into purpose, launching her own small business, Asthete Crafts.
Each of her products — from elegant coasters and trays to unique festive platters — is crafted entirely by hand, with precision, patience, and an eye for design. “My designs are unique, and every product is made by hand with utmost care. Each piece reflects a part of me — calm, creative, and full of love,” she shares.
Rashi’s work proves that when creativity meets courage, something truly timeless is born. Her resin art isn’t just décor — it’s a reflection of individuality, energy, and endless dedication.
