Isn’t it the most exciting time of the year when we bring Bappa home? We know he is going to take away all our worries and bring auspiciousness into our lives.
While Bappa is all set to arrive on his mushak, how about we quickly make our house ready and welcome him with whole festive vibes? Let’s find out how to do it.
#1 Eco-Friendly Decor Items
Besides bringing home Bappa made of mud and natural colours, why not plan an entire environment-friendly theme?
Decorate the surroundings of Bappa's idol with natural and colourful flowers like marigolds, roses, and jasmine to create a fresh and fragrant ambiance. Hang up beautiful strings of flowers on the walls and doorway for a traditional touch. Remember to do something for the flooring too—you can place Homemonde’s jute rugs available in a variety of designs and colour choices.
#2 Lighting with Diyas
Light up the space in a beautiful, warm, and traditional way—with diyas. Place them around when Bappa is going to reside and on every corner of your house. They will light up the entire space in a welcoming way. Try to get colourful little lanterns too; you can hang them in different areas for making the decor more mesmerising.
#3: Make Rangoli Designs
On such a big occasion, how can we skip making rangoli? Make a traditional rangoli design right on the entrance in vibrant colours such as orange, red, yellow, and green. There are so many designs you can choose from—flowers, peacocks, classic motifs, lotus, to even the outline of Lord Ganesha.
Check out Pinterest or YouTube for some easy rangoli designs. And if you are short on time, then get ready-made rangoli stencils to create amazing patterns quickly. Also try to make the Rangoli eco-friendly by swapping synthetic colours with natural materials such as rice, turmeric, and flower petals.
#4: Give Festive Touch Everywhere
Swap those everyday cushion covers, bedsheets, and window curtains with some rich and vibrant colours like red, orange, gold, and green. These shades are not only visually appealing but are also believed to bring good fortune, happiness, and positive energy into your home, making them ideal for Ganesh Chaturthi.
Get printed cushion covers and bedsheets for double beds that brighten up the look of your house. Find contrasting or matching curtain fabric to complement the entire festive theme.
#5 Theme-Based Decoration
Recently, people are loving to do theme-based decorations for Ganesh Chaturthi. You too can opt for that. Choose traditional themes like South Indian Temple, Eco-Park, Rajasthani Haveli, Bappa in the Jungle, or any other you and your family like.
