RangoliCelebrating Diwali with Decorations in India

Some culture in India emphasizes on the usage of Flowers, while another may have a lavish sweet-dish spread out. Similarly, most people in India, depending on their budget, pick decorations that best suit their houses, interiors and well, budget. Buying Diwali Decorations Online has eased out Diwali preparations, unlike anything. One can now easily browse through the internet and buy a set of lights for Diwali or spiritual gifts for Diwali online.

Every festival is marked by its typical tradition and festivity. Diwali stands out for the lavish decorations that light up every home. Even the most modest home is transformed with luminous cheer. The decorations and ardour of Diwali make it the most loved festival among Hindus. The remarkable aspect of Diwali is that each of its elements are very simple. It is in the manner in which they are presented and displayed that the decorations start to stand out and help them look grand and impressive. Some of the important decor items that find place in Diwali include:

Rangoli, Oil Lamps, Sweets & Flowers For Diwali!

Rangoli is the most beautiful, colorful and soulful part of Diwali. It is the drawing that one makes on the entrances of their house with various sand colors, flowers and/or craft items. Origami Diwali decorations are rapidly picking up the pace and many opt for this Diwali decoration to bring in a creative and alluring charm to space.

‘Rangolis’ are elaborate arrangements made using coloured powders, flowers, coloured rice, and even pulses. These intricate designs are characteristic of all auspicious occasions, and especially Diwali. They are made afresh every day during the five days. Believed to be auspicious symbols, rangolis are found decorating the thresholds and prayer rooms in most houses. The rangoli is common through every celebration during the days of Diwali. Rangolis are fashioned using the various components and in different designs. Children and adults engage in this activity with great enthusiasm, as beautiful designs take form and adorn the house. While some people prefer to change the rangoli and prepare fresh ones every day, there are others which can be made and preserved through all five days. Other options include sticker rangolis which can simple be place at the places suitable.
 

Lamps and Lights

Oil lamps or Diyas are an integral part of Diwali. They signify the victory of truth over evil by illumination and fire; which is considered as the purest form of justice in Hindu Mythology. A tradition oil lamp is made of clay in which oil is filled and a wire made of cotton is dipped to be fired. A lot of people use Ghee instead of oil for these diyas. Some people also use the electrical diya set where there is a small bulk in place of oil and cotton. With technology changing hands every day, diyas with sensors are also manufactured. These diyas have lights in them and the lights turn on when the diya is dipped into water. By striking a balance between age-old rituals and creativity, people opt for candles, lanterns, aromatic incense sticks and candles, and fairy lights.

DiyasDiwali has no meaning without lights and lamps. Traditional Diwali lamps are lit in small earthen shells, although today more ornate lamps in bright colours and embellishments have caught our fancy. These are lit using a wick and some oil, and burn for a few hours. Modernisation has made way for the use of electric lights that flicker in energetic colours. Strings of tiny electric lights are hung along windows and doors, and in passages of houses. Candles have also become another symbol of Diwali. In an age where people are looking to bring together a little of the old and marry it with the new, and where improvisation is common, aroma lamps, floating candles and decorative lanterns make for exquisite arrangements. However, the traditional simple lamps are the most endearing. They have a delicate simplicity about them and stand for all that Diwali means.

Flowers

Flowers are an integral part of the Indian culture. An occasion or a holy ceremony is incomplete without flowers for they not only sanitize the atmosphere with their freshness but also are placed as garlands in the feet or gods and goddesses. Generally, in Diwali, flower petals are used to shower on the idols or as decorations. One can add flower petals in the water or use it as colors in rangoli. It may interest some to know that certain food items are also prepared from flowers or their essence. The presence of flowers is a way of welcoming purity, chastity and divinity.

The generous use of flowers are commonplace in every traditional ritual – be it in grand garlands for the deities, arches of flowers along the doorways or even just the use of petals sprinkled judiciously to make pleasant designs around the house. The flowers are not just wonderful ways to light up the house and add splashes of colour, but also the most auspicious ways to welcome the Divine. Flowers are mainstays of the puja, used in torans, and also in rangolis. Given their wide use and versatility, it is common to have an abundance of flowers stocked up in the house well before Diwali. Their selection, separation and use are all a joy.

Diwali SweetsSweets and dry fruits

Food is the key to every human as well as divine being. We've examples of Lord Hanuman being an innocent foodie and the tale where he chased the sun thinking it to be a giant fruit. They say snacks for the body, food for the heart and sweets for the soul. Rightly said so, food items and delicacies are a must on festivals in India. Fitness and health being the center point of routines, most people either bake sweets or find alternatives from the ghee dripping sweets. However, sweets and dry-fruits bring in happiness, and zest to Diwali. Without a variety of sweets, dry fruits, fruits, lip smacking dishes and a heart-warming feast, Diwali is quite not Diwali.

Gone are the days when trays of sweets and dry fruits were simply served before guests. Today, the art of display has taken on new dimensions. Special trays are designed and crafted to present rare design. Dry fruits are served in crystal, silver and inlaid bowls, placed in trays which can be made using a variety of finishes including glass, plastic, and sometimes even cane. Ethnic displays have become more appealing to everyone, and every detail is watched carefully. Decorations are simple reflections of the cheer in the mood and happiness that engulfs the being of everyone involved with the festival. The thought and attention paid to every minute detail goes to show the relevance and importance Diwali has in every Hindu household. And while the platter and presentation may have undergone a transformation over the years, what has remained is the same sweetness and richness in taste, and also the subtle flavours which make all sweets enjoyed, and all the dry fruits make their way to the stomach which can be sent as Online Diwali Gifts.

A creative and innovative twist to Diwali Decorations!

Diwali is a welcoming festival. It not only allows one to get rid of all the negativity but also encourages creativity and newness. As they say broken crayons still color, certain items can be fixed and used as Diwali decorations.
If you have a handful of marbles or shells collected at the beach, stick together circularly and make a small mat or coaster.

Empty soda or squash bottles in the house? Well, wash them completely and paint on the outside of the bottle. You can use a white or any light color to paint on the outside and add some glitter on the edges. Tie fairy lights on the bottles and use it as a lantern or a decorative lamp for the table.

If your flowers or leaves are starting to dry out, boil them in water and extract all their color. Add some setting oil and wax and make scented candles out of them. It shall not only bring in an artistic Diwali decoration to the house but also an organic and natural beauty to the aura. A pile of newspapers can easily be found in most households in India. Thus, one can get an empty canvas and stick several newspaper on it and color it white. Thus, this can become a unique background to paint on and one can draw gods and goddesses on it for an interesting painting for Diwali decorations.
