Light strung in stone.
A Deep Mala is a garland of lamps — traditionally used to illuminate sacred spaces, temple corridors, and festive celebrations. Ishatva carves Deep Malas from natural stone, creating ceremonial lighting pieces that are made to be kept for generations.
Each Deep Mala is hand-carved from a single stone type — basalt, sandstone, or marble — with individual diya cups precisely carved to hold oil or tea-light candles. Designed to be hung in Mandir spaces, courtyards, and verandas, they bring the warmth of festival light to any occasion.
Every piece is made to order. No two are exactly alike.
