Diwali is about light, and you do not need a big budget to make your home glow. A mix of traditional diyas, safe flameless LED candles and a few string lights covers every corner. Here is a room-by-room plan.
Why add flameless LED candles?
Real diyas are part of the festival, but in homes with small children, pets, curtains or crowded pooja shelves, battery-operated LED candles and tealights give the same warm flicker without a flame. They do not drip wax, they can be reused every year, and they are safe to leave on through the evening.
Entrance and rangoli
- Ring the rangoli with a 12-piece reflection diya set or colourful silicone diyas, which hold a tealight and come in bright colours.
- Place LED tealights inside them on windy nights when real flames keep going out. For a large rangoli, the pack of 24 LED tealights works out cheaper.
- Frame the door with a 9 metre multicolour string light.
Pooja room
- A gold leaf LED diya lamp or a diya-shaped LED wall light keeps a steady glow near idols and cloth decorations.
- Lotus-shaped LED candles suit the pooja theme.
Living room and dining table
- Group flameless LED pillar candles (set of 3) on a tray for a centrepiece.
- A 6-piece LED candle set with remote lets you switch them all on together.
- Elephant tealight holders and rose-shaped LED tealights add a festive touch for guests.
Balcony and windows
- A 10 metre white string light along the railing gives the classic Diwali look.
- Battery-operated flexible wire lights work where there is no plug point (batteries not included).
Safety tips
- Keep real diyas away from curtains, rangoli powder and children's reach, and never leave them burning unattended.
- Do not overload a single socket with many plug-in light strings.
- Switch off lights before sleeping, and remove batteries from LED candles you store away after the festival.
