Eco-Friendly Diwali Celebrations in Pune
Diwali, known as the 'Festival of Lights', is one of India's most prominent festivals, celebrated with vibrant colors and luminous lights. Spanning up to five days, this auspicious occasion marks the victory of Lord Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, over the demon-king Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. Upon Lord Rama's return to his kingdom after 14 years of exile, people lit their homes with bright lights, a tradition passed down through generations. In modern times, with a focus on preserving the environment, here are some eco-friendly ways to participate in the festivities.
Eco-Friendly Ways to Celebrate Diwali
Diya (Lamp)
Traditional Illumination
A Diya, or lamp, is the cornerstone of Diwali celebrations. Typically made from clay with a cotton wick dipped in ghee or vegetable oils, no Diwali is complete without these lamps. Placed at entrances or boundaries of homes, Diyas light up communities across India. During Diwali, local shops offer beautiful and ornate Diyas, allowing you to bask in the opulence of traditional lighting while keeping the celebration eco-friendly.
Gifts
Fostering Togetherness
Diwali is celebrated with near and dear ones, and gifts play a vital role in fostering a sense of togetherness and community. Exchanging gifts, whether with young or old, near or far, makes Diwali special and strengthens bonds during this festive season.
Rangoli
Artistic Decorations
Rangoli is a traditional art form created as patterns on the floor or ground during Diwali. Believed to bring good luck, these decorative designs can depict various shapes or images and are an essential part of Diwali celebrations. Rangolis brighten homes and workplaces, adding a festive charm to the season.
Sweets
Delightful Treats
Sweets are integral to every Indian festival, and Diwali is no exception. From exquisite laddoos to Kaju barfis and other delectables, sweets add an extra layer of joy to the celebrations, making it a time to indulge with loved ones.
