I wish more and more people buy such kind of pots this season. I have 30-40 designs of such clay pots," said Mukesh Prajapati, the shopkeeper, while speaking to ANI.
Painted in different colours and decorated with an assortment of embellishments, these clay pots play a major role in garba, a form of dance.
