In this edition of Set the Table with Souk, we’ve pulled together tableware and accents that add glow, charm, and a dash of indulgence—all the things that say Diwali with a big D. We looked for stuff that is warm, layered, and full of personality, from gorgeous kansa dinnerware to sculptural urlis.

HOME & LIVING 01 Tehelka Runner & Placemat SetThis runner-and-placemat set brings old-world India to the dining |

HOME & LIVING 02 Anvaya Kansa Thali SetKansa, an alloy of copper (78%) and tin (22%), has been used for centuries to craft both utensils and sculptures—and as a health hack by Ayurveda devotees. This six-piece set (thali, two bowls, tumbler, dessert bowl, and dessert spoon) with its delicate bel design is a classic—suited to everyday use and days when the house smells of incense and ghee lamps. |

HOME & LIVING 03 Kansa Serving Bowls (Set of 3)This serveware is also made from kansa. We appreciate the modern curves and subtle sheen that easily blends in with whatever else is on your table. So you can indulge your love for metal without going all-in on the traditional vibe. Then again, you could match them with the thalis above. They come in three handy sizes, useful for everything from desserts to dals and sides. |

HOME & LIVING 04 Pink Solid Handwoven Cotton NapkinSometimes all it takes is a pop of pink to make a table come alive. Handwoven in soft cotton, this Fabindia napkin adds colour, cheer, and a touch of texture to your setting. It works beautifully with whites, brass, or patterned plates, adding a playful touch that ties everything together. |

HOME & LIVING 05 Elephant Napkin Ring (Set of 4)These elephants on the dining table impart a sense of occasion—as do these handcrafted napkin rings. Cast in brass with a gold finish, they add polish, weight, and are a quiet nod to Indian craft. Think of them as small but mighty accents that make any table, festive or otherwise, look all dressed up. |
|
HOME & LIVING 06 Sintra Glass Tealight Holder LampThis tealight holder is simple but striking, inspired by old Persian lamps yet perfectly at home on a modern table. The ribbed glass shade gives off a warm, dappled glow that feels instantly festive. What we love most is how versatile it is - use the lamp and stand together for drama, or separately when you want a softer touch. |

HOME & LIVING 07 Ceres Round Marble UrliWe fell in love with this white marble urli that looks almost hand-folded, with soft pleats carved into stone. You can fill it with marigolds, tealights or leave it empty as a sculptural statement. The foam pads underneath keep your table safe while the marble’s weight gives it presence. A timeless piece that brings calm, light, and a touch of class wherever it sits. |
|
HOME & LIVING 08 Auspicious Vibes Mixed Marigold Thali VaseThis marigold dome is the kind of centerpiece that does all the heavy lifting in terms of table decor. The mix of orange and yellow blooms is traditional, but the design is fresh, and the glass vase wrapped in green leaves keeps it neat and modern. Place it in this marble urli to amp up the impact, or let it stand alone and let the flowers steal the show. Either way, it brings Diwali spirit to your table without the fuss of arranging a single stem. |
