Decked Up Diwali: Embrace Tradition With A Twist With These Lighting Ideas
The Festival of Lights is finally here, and The White Teak Company wishes you and your loved ones a very Happy Diwali! Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India, and we definitely can’t be calm about it (and we know you can’t too!). This extravagant festival brings back a lot of memories and evokes countless emotions every time it arrives.
Diwali is a pious festival that symbolises new beginnings and celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. And for all of us, Diwali means a lot more than that. This is the time when we strengthen our bonds with our loved ones, enjoy countless delicacies with everybody around and end up with our bellies full and hearts fuller. It is also when we eagerly wait to hear the loud yet lovable crackling and whistling of an array of firecrackers. But most importantly, Diwali is about lighting up our lives and everyone around us with all the strength and zeal that stems from within us. When we say lighting up our lives, we mean it both symbolically and literally.
At the centre of all the elements and emotions amidst the festivities lies lighting. Lighting is an essential factor in making Diwali actually feel like Diwali. Lighting quite literally dictates what your beautiful homes look and feel like on this important day. Lighting can alter our behaviour and affect our emotions in more ways than you can think of. So, when you step out of your home this Diwali and find yourself in the middle of a sea of twinkling lights feeling gleefully overwhelmed, remember it’s not just the festive spirit that’s getting to you.
And let’s not forget another factor that truly binds us to the festivities - the customs and the traditions. The traditions and the rituals that we perform bring meaning to the festivals and our lives, and they add the true essence to Diwali. This year, infuse the exuberant festive spirit into your home with The White Teak Company and embrace traditions with a twist. Be a part of WT’s Sparkling Diwali and experience opulence like never before. Unlike many people think, Diwali isn’t a single-day celebration, it is a festival spread over five days, and each day has its own significance. We bring to you some felicitous lighting ideas for all five days and jazz up your Diwali celebrations like never before.
Day 1: Dhanteras
Dhanteras marks the beginning of the Diwali festivities, and it is the most auspicious day to purchase valuable assets. While there is an array of things you can purchase on Dhanteras, the maiden day of the Diwali festivities has become synonymous with gold. Gold is one of the most common items purchased on this day, and investing in this precious metal is believed to bring in more prosperity to your humble abodes. The White Teak Company lets you add that panache to your fabulous decor with its exclusive and extensive collection of uber-chic lighting designs.
When you think about it, the precious metal symbolises wealth, grandeur and elegance, while the colour gold symbolises endless allure, sparkle, glitz and glam. The ravishing Festive Collection 2022 by The White Teak Company brings you the best of both worlds and definitely adds a distinct flavour to your celebrations this year. Our bedazzling and entrancing gilded lighting designs are truly a sight to behold, and they will lend an exceptional touch to your decor like never before.
