This Diwali Rock It!

DIWALI! What an auspicious festival for everyone. It is celebrated by all Indians not only in India but by all Indians Overseas also. There are so many things we do in Diwali. So many preparations we have to make before Diwali. Let's have a look on them:

 CLEANING

This is the most important thing we all need to do before Diwali. It is a believe that by cleaning in Diwali Lakshmi enters the house. Earlier people use to White wash their houses, so that each and every corner of the house get clean the full stop but now everyone has got so busy that you hurt you get the time for it. But not to worry if you don't have time and you really wants to get your house cleaned then there are many house cleaning services available online like service zet.com, urban company etc. You can avail their services and let the Goddess Lakshmi enter your house.

 GIFTS

Another very important issue to deal in Diwali is gift. It is so time consuming and confusing too. Everyone wants there gift to be unique and best and why not? After all gives are given to special persons and they have to be special. This Diwali we should think of something eco friendly like plantable Mega grow kit from Amala.earth, seed pencils plantable paper from pamp.earth etc. These types of gifts reduce waste, promote recycling and encourage planting activities. In this way we are not only gifting to our near and dear ones but we are also gifting a beautiful tomorrow to our children.

 FASHION AND STYLING

Oh yes! If we are preparing for Diwali and we don't talk about fashion and styling then it would be totally incomplete. Everybody wants to look good and wear trendy in Diwali. From children to people in the fifties all prefer Indo Western ethnic dresses and people above 60s mostly prefer Indian ethnic dresses in Diwali. It is considered auspicious to wear new clothes in Diwali Pooja. So, shopping is very essential and the right place to shop for Indo Western ethnic dresses in Lucknow is Hazratganj and for Indian ethnic dresses is Aminabad and for online you have many options likeNyka fashion, Biba, House of Indya, Soch etc.

After dresses it has to be here styling. There are many trendy hairstyles you can plants this Diwali like low ponytail Messi braided top not, fishtail braid, sites web hairstyle beach waves traditional bun, festive chick hairstyle with headbands, half up hairstyle, twist up simple braid, Messi side bun etc. These are the trendy hairstyles going on this Diwali but our super classy straight hair and pumed giving that voluminous look is evergreen and it never goes out of style and also very easy to do and maintain. Do you know when hair straighteners and pumers were not so trendy and easily available, at that time girls use to ion their hair with low heat and for puming they used to make lots of thin plaids in wet hair and the next day when they open they got pumed and voluminous hair.

 FOOD AND SWEETS

Diwali gives us the reason to have exotic food and super delicious sweets. Diwali is a family festival and when whole family comes together then food is the best way to enjoy. Eating together is loved by all and it also enhances the taste of food. When we are with family we are happy and when we are happy whatever we do or make would be super exotic. So this Diwali we can make some good traditional and all time favourite dishes. I believe that every family and every person have their own taste so knowing their taste we can make something nice. Like in my family before marriage my mother used to make Moong Dal pakoda's with green chutney and our neighbours and relative use to come specially to eat that and in my in laws we make Kachaudi and Dahi Vadas and everybody loves the Dahi Vadas made by my mother in law because they are super soft. For sweets you can either make it at home or the best shop in Lucknow to order sweets are Chandrakala, Neelkanth, Chappan Bhog, Parampara etc.

 POOJA MATERIALS

When we have talked about everything then how can we leave the main thing untouched. For this is only reason we celebrate Diwali. On this day we worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. We also worship Ram, Lakshman ,Janki and Hanuman ji. We require the idols of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, Chowki over which they are kept, two garlands,lotus flower , beetle leaves, sweets, laiya, kheel, batashe, diyas , candles,silver coin of Laxmi and Ganesha etc

We have discussed almost everything that is done before and in Diwali except crackers. For crackers, I request you all to please make very less use of crackers and that too, use only green crackers which are not harmful for our environment . Overpower the noise of crackers with the noise of enjoyment with family. Have a happy and safe Deepawali.
