दिल्ली: पहाड़गंज इलाके में प्रजापति समुदाय ने दिवाली की तैयारी के लिए बड़े पैमाने पर मिट्टी के दीयों का उत्पादन शुरू कर दिया है। वो हर साल दिवाली के लिए ये दीये बनाते हैं। पहाड़गंज के एक कुम्हार ने कहा कि ये हमारा खानदानी धंधा है, हम बचपन से ये काम करते आ रहे हैं। दिवाली आती है तो दीयों की मांग बढ़ जाती है। वहीं खरीदारी करने आए ग्राहक ने बताया कि हम अपनी दुकान के लिए थोक में उनसे दीये खरीदते हैं और फिर उन्हें बाजार में बेचते हैं। लेकिन जब से बाजार में चीनी लाइट और मोमबत्तियां आई हैं, तब से हमारे व्यापार पर असर पड़ा है।

00:45I have been working here since I was a child.
00:47No.
00:48This is what we make.
00:50We make it at Eid.
00:52And now it goes on for 12 months.
00:56The smaller one is used in the temples, it costs 2,000 to 3,000 rupees.
01:02During Diwali, it is very expensive.
01:04That one is 60 rupees, 60 rupees is 100 rupees, and this one is 3 rupees.
01:09No, it has been ours for a long time.
01:11The clay lamps are very expensive.
01:16It should be more expensive than this.
01:17Today, the clay is expensive, we don't even get clay.
01:20Raw charcoal is expensive.
01:22Because of pollution, we don't cook in a big pot, we cook in charcoal.
01:25In that, there is no pollution, there is no smoke.
01:27When there is pollution, it is said that there is pollution.
01:29There is smoke.
01:31That's why we cook in small pots.
01:33In that, there is no smoke.
01:35We ask for a lot of supply of clay lamps, but we can't make that much.
01:39We don't have a machine.
01:41So, we can make a little.
01:43Yes, we make a little.
01:46The rate that we should get, we don't get that rate.
01:50The clay is also expensive.
01:52We cook in charcoal.
01:54Earlier, there was a big pot.
01:56Now, there is no space for a big pot.
01:58So, we cook in charcoal.
02:00We don't get that much.
02:02No, it has become too much.
02:04Yes, it has become too much.
02:05We ask for a lot.
02:07But we can't make that much.
02:09We don't have space.
02:11We don't have a machine.
02:13So, we can't make that much.
02:15We don't get that much.
02:17The rate that we should get, we don't get that much.
02:19In the market, if we sell it for Rs. 3, we should get Rs. 5.
02:24If we sell it for Rs. 60, we should get Rs. 100.
02:29The rate should be Rs. 1.
02:31What will happen if we sell it for Rs. 60?
02:33If we sell it for Rs. 100, we will get Rs. 60.
02:36That's why we don't make that much.
02:38We make it on Diwali.
02:40We have a shop in Paharganj.
02:43We sell old things.
02:45We buy whole lamps from them.
02:47We have gone to give them an order of 3000 lamps.
02:51As Diwali approaches, we will buy lamps from them.
02:55And we sell it in the market.
02:58But since the Chinese light has come, they have made our work a little weak.
03:03Because these days, you see Chinese lamps and candles.
03:07So, the Indians are less attracted to it.
03:11Because they prefer to buy a Chinese light for Rs. 60 or Rs. 70.
03:15It has lamps and candles.
03:17So, our sale is less.
03:19But still, we say that their house should also run.
03:22If we stop buying from them, then how will their house and work run?
03:26So, we are adopting our old things from them.
03:30We buy lamps from them.
