Diwali celebration ideas

Eco-friendly ideas for the grandest festival season, Happy diwali.

Diwali is the grandest of all festivals celebrated in India. The lights from a thousand earthen diya's, the sound of all our laughter, and the smell of aromatic dishes fill the air as we get together with our loved ones and celebrate being alive.

But with celebrations comes a lot of pollution. If the pandemic has left a lesson for us to learn from, it is to value mother Earth and take care of our resources.

So, here are a few unconventional ways to celebrate a clean and eco-friendly Diwali because even our future generations must get a chance to enjoy this grand festival.

Create your own decor. From crepe paper torans to handmade lanterns, jewelry. Many things you can do to create your decor at home. Old glass jars can turn into pretty lamps, or you can even turn a brown paper bag into something beautiful. Just use your imagination!

Handmade gifts. Handmade gifts are a great way to show someone how much you love them because of all the personal touches you can add to your gifts. If someone in your family loves flowers, you could create pressed flower candles for them or even learn how to make cute raisin floral jewelry. It does not have to be perfect; the thought behind your handmade gift is what counts the most!

Volunteer. Spend some time on a cause you believe in! From beach cleanups to helping feed the homeless, or caring for street animals who are especially distressed due to the loud noises and air pollution caused by firecrackers, there is a lot you can do to help out. Connect with your local community members or NGOs to volunteer your time.

Cook at home. Did you know that cooking at home can help reduce food wastage, unnecessary packing and is much better for your health? Recreate your old family recipes at home and bond with younger family members by talking about your heritage and culture. You can buy hand-blended spice mixes from Mayori to recreate some of the most famous spicy Indian festive snacks and meals at home with zero hassle.

Celebrate eco-friendly festivals with Mayori

It is officially the festive season of India when we celebrate Navratri, Durga Puja, Diwali, Christmas, and everyone’s favorite New years eve! Many have changed in these pandemic times, and our grand celebrations have become more intimate because of COVID19 restrictions. There is also a much greater need for an eco-friendly and sustainable celebration. Over the years, festive celebrations in India have led to increased water and noise pollution. Now more than ever, we must embark on a path to sustainability.

Eco-Friendly celebration ideas by Mayori

At Mayori, we celebrate natural fabrics, hand-blended spices, and the gift of giving back. Mayori’s garments are made consciously with 100% cotton fabrics and responsible dyes, carbon positive operations, and fewer waste facilities, yet we guarantee zero shrinkage in all our clothes. All our materials are rewashed, giving us the privilege of ensuring that color won’t bleed in any of our garments.

Go green. Buy eco-friendly idols and decorations, and serve prasad on banana leaves instead of small plastic cups or bowls. Beautiful handcrafted clay, metal, and stone idols are available in the market that do not impact the environment or create toxic waste.

Cook at home. Cooking at home is an excellent way to ensure healthy and sustainable meals. You can source local and fresh produce, control the portions, and make sure the dish is exactly how you want it! Cooking at home is also much better for the environment than getting takeaways. Try handcrafted spice blends from the Conscious Ras-Soi by Mayori to recreate festive favorites at home.
