Vinod Kumar Pandit, who is selling pot in Begusarai city, told that today people have forgotten the pot in the era of modernity, but when modernity came in the pot, the demand increased. We now make an earthen pitcher and attach a tap to it. Due to which people are getting convenience in extracting water. When the heat increased from last week, the demand increased.

But for the poor, only a pot made of clay is a desi fridge. Earthen pots have been used for generations to store water in homes.
The pleasure of drinking pot water is different because of the wet smell of soil. There are tiny holes in the pot made of clay. The cooling of water depends on the process of evaporation. The more evaporation, the more the water will cool. The water of the pot keeps coming out through these subtle holes. Water evaporates due to heat. It takes heat from the water in the pot to evaporate. This lowers the temperature of the pot and keeps the water cool.
