Here are some Lanterns actually used in the villages. Made from brass. The tank contains kerosene - a primary fuel still used in cooking stoves, gensets, lanterns and unscrupulous drivers of auto rickshaws - a 3-wheeler Taxi - who mix it with petrol or what you call gasoline in the US. These lanterns are also used in modern homes with an electric bulb fitted inside them. Can be had for $ 7 to 12 each depending upon size and intricacy of the design. I had hell of a time getting the WB right due to the huge blue tarp spread as a roof by the street vendor. Comments welcome. Regards. Bipin - from that far away enchanting land.
