Indian potter women Santosh kumari dips earthen lamps into yellow paint in Amritsar on Oct. 10, 2009. Earthen lamps are in heavy demand for the forthcoming Hindu festival of lights, Deepavali, which falls on Oct 17 this year. Earthen lamps are traditionally lit, marking the victory over evil and commemorating the time when the Hindu god Lord Rama achieved victory over Ravana and returned to his kingdom Ayodhya.
