Can you imagine Diwali without the Diwali lights – no one can!
Diwali celebrations hold a special place for lamps and lights. Without the delicate flames of diyas lighting your home, Diwali will miss its festive charm.
Story of Diwali Lights
Legend has it that Lord Rama returned home to Ayodhya on this day. Not only did he return after 14 years but also after an intense battle with Raavan. Of course, he was victorious. But it was a long journey back home after dark and painful times. And the night he returned was no different. A dark new moon night in the month of Kartika. Hence the people of his kingdom lit lamps along the streets outside their houses – to welcome their crown prince home.

Dress up your glass windows or balcony with a curtain of string lights. Now, to make a light curtain, you need lots of string lights.

Intelligent party lights
To turn heads of people walking on your street, use intelligent Projector lights and Disco balls. Keep one in your garden and project it on the outer wall of your house. Flashing eye-catching visual displays makes your lighting an interesting one. Diwali LED lights and strips, single or multi-coloured are also a stunner. Tape them on the wall or floor in spiral patterns. The visual effect is spectacular.
Subtle tea lights
Bid goodbye to all the electrical Diwali lights and Go Green this festival. Choose the specially curated tea lights that are unique and spectacular. These tea lights are either solar operated or battery operated. In addition to enjoying the festival with zest, you also protect mother nature. Isn’t it refreshing to celebrate a festival with a purpose? Sure it is.
Clay diyas and Floating Diya lights
Do clay diyas seem archaic for your new home? Buy the colourful ones with sparkles and gems to make them vibrant. Place them at spots where you can enjoy their dynamic design. Regular diyas, on the other hand, have their place on the floor and low heights. They are relatively cheap. Hence you can buy them in large quantity to line them along garden paths and the stairs.
You can also choose to decorate with floating Diya lights or floating candles in a corner or entrance of your home. Water adds a mystical feel to fire and the flickering sparkle of diyas.
Electric firecrackers
Electric firecrackers are a great way to make your Diwali pollution-free. They burst into light flashes just like a regular firecracker minus the toxic smoke and smell. To your surprise, they are reusable!
We wish you a happy and safe Diwali!
