Unlock festivities

Dussehra/Diwali

If you believe in celebrations with a cause, visit Bengaluru-based Kulture Street's website. It offers a range of handcrafted earthen and chiseled wooden diyas, and vibrant linen fabrics that serve as mats to place dieties during puja.

"The lockdown impacted rural artisans severely as they lost all avenues for the traditional in-person sale. So, the heart behind our venture was to help them earn a livelihood and continue to brighten up people's homes with their crafts," shares founder Hareesh Amjuri.

Durga Pujo

Flower diyas

Although pandal-hopping, devouring the bhog wali khichdi and having the extended family around the dinner table seems far-fetched, don't lockdown the fun. This festive season, invite the mother goddess home with colourful flower torans, blingy lights, terracotta oil lamps and elaborate rangoli stickers. For those who love experimenting with rangoli designs, a few online stores are also offering stencils that are easy-to-use and have striking patterns that will wow your guests during a zoom get-together.
