Udaipur, Oct 29: With just two days left for Diwali, the festival of lights, candle factories in Udaipur are buzzing with activity. The city, renowned for its temples, is gearing up to celebrate the festival with colorful illuminations.

The candle factories of Biplab Saha in Udaipur Banduar and Suma Das of the SSG Group in Tepania RD Block and several other factories are operating at full capacity. Workers and owners alike are working round the clock to meet the surging demand for candles.

Both Biplab Saha and Suma Das have recently ventured into candle-making. Suma Das, who received training through the SSG Group, is planning to invest in new machinery to meet the increasing demand. Similarly, Biplab Saha is striving to fulfill customer demands.

Candles produced in these factories are sold throughout the Gomati district throughout the year. However, the demand skyrockets during Diwali. Saha has also ventured into producing earthen lamps, which have proved to be quite profitable. Both Saha and Das mentioned that their candle factories provide employment to many men and women.
