The festival of lights!

 Author: Sanjay Kumar Anand

Hello, everyone! Diwali is the time of happiness, the time of unlimited sweets, hugs, and meeting with our family and friends. The first time Diwali was celebrated was when King Ram returned to his kingdom after the victory over the evil King Ravana. The entire city of Ayodhya was decorated with lights to welcome him home. There are also many other stories about the first time Diwali was celebrated. The history of Diwali stretches almost back to 2500 years. So, we can confidently say that the festival of lights is pretty old!

In the olden days, the people celebrating Diwali used to exchange coins and sweets, much like today. There were no fireworks, as there are today. Also, people did not litter on the name of Diwali. But today, most people only care about themselves and not about the environment. So, shouldn't we celebrate the auspicious occasion with both regards to ourselves and the environment? After all, Diwali should be a happy time of the year for both the planet and ourselves! So, here I am going to tell you some points on celebrating Diwali in an eco-friendly way!

  1. Switch to oil diyas and LED lamps instead of candles- Diyas and lamps are reusable but the candles are not the same. Also, candles release toxins into the atmosphere which leads to bad air quality.
  2. Try to make natural rangolis- In the olden days, people used to provide tiny critters such as ants and small birds with food through rangolis! The rangolis used were made up of rice paste and were not chemically synthesized. So why not use them?
  3. Say no to crackers- Yes, one of the biggest drawbacks of Diwali is the use of crackers. While we enjoy bursting them, poor animals and birds are disturbed by the sound they create. Also, it is harmful to the environment.

So, that's it and I hope you have a happy and eco-friendly Diwali!
