Frequently Asked Questions
Most Indian families start decorating 2-3 days before Diwali. This gives enough time for thorough cleaning (Diwali ki safai) and decoration without rushing.
LED diyas are safer, reusable, and convenient — but they lack the authentic flicker and warmth of oil flames. Use oil diyas for the main puja area and LED diyas for decorative accents.
Traditional combinations include red and gold, orange and yellow, or pink and white. Marigold flowers (genda phool) add a naturally festive yellow-orange touch to any color scheme.
