Who celebrates Diwali in India

Diwali, also spelled Divali, one of the major religious festivals in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism, lasting for five days from the 13th day of the dark half of the lunar month Ashvina to the second day of the light half of the lunar month Karttika.

A lot of the gifts we receive at Diwali are of no use to us and are thrown away soon after the festival. Take some time to choose gifts with care. Potted plants or seeds as gifts would be a welcome change from the usual sweets that only end up making you gain weight! Eco-friendly wooden or terracotta artefacts, handmade paintings or crafts, organic food hampers, organic soap and eco-friendly fragrances are thoughtful gifting ideas that do not pollute the environment.

Re-cycled and up-cycled items are also great gifts that are unique and also speak volumes about your love for the planet!Give Gifts To Those Who Really Need ThemEvery year, after Diwali has come and gone, you are left with many, many boxes of sugary sweets that no one wants to eat anymore! Why not make a change this year, by choosing to donate to an orphanage or by spending your time at an old age home. Choose to teach your illiterate maid how to read and write. Give sweets or clothes to poor children who really need them.

Diyas are regularly enriched with metallic paint that can be harmful, particularly on the off chance that it interacts with oil and hotness. Plain diyas are consistently the most secure. If you should utilize enriched diyas, it's a smart thought to purchase safe non-harmful paint and adorn diyas without help from anyone else.  Guest Posts
