Diwali is the celebration of lights to mark the return of Prince Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. While it is traditionally celebrated with firecrackers, there are ways to make it special for people who want more eco-friendly options.

Here’s our list of 3 things that will help you celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali.

1. Natural Rangolis

Designing Rangolis is an integral part of Diwali celebrations and if you do not want to use chemical Rangoli colours, you can opt for natural variants.

Use kumkum, haldi, coffee powder, and rice powder for colours and decorate your Rangoli with flowers. It will light up the room and create an enigmatic aroma for your guests.

Just make thoughtful hand-made gifts for your loved ones and make their Diwali extra special. Here’s a video to help you get an idea:
