दिवाली और दीया एक-दूसरे से जुड़े हैं। ऐसे में मिट्टी का जिक्र न हो तो बेमानी है। आइए मिलते हैं, गांव की माटी से जुड़े एक कलाकार से जिसने अपनी कल्पनाओं को माटी में साकार किया है। नाम है अमल। उन्हें गांव और गांव की माटी से इतना लगाव था कि वह दिल्ली में जमे जमाए कारोबार को छोड़ कर अपने गांव आ गये। यहीं उनकी किस्मत का दीया रौशन हुआ।
