The maiden post of #PottersKiDiwali was started by Twitter user Anshul Saxena. He mentioned that its an awareness mission asking more and more people to buy from local potters. With the ease of online shopping and free home delivery, Diwali shopping has already changed course over the years. With everything available on the online retail applications and the heavy discount offers, it is quite convenient to order everything with a few clicks. But the local potters really strive and make their best to make the simple diyas year after year. Diwali being a peak season for sale, the mission of Potters ki Diwali is all about preferring to buy from them over the fancy and decorated items available elsewhere in shops or online. Netizens also joined in to spread awareness about this mission.
