Deepawali decor: 5 Shopping ideas for the festive season

Come November and it is time for Diwali again…

A festival that is an ode to the Goddess of wealth and prosperity, Goddess Lakshmi and one that celebrates the victory of good over evil, Diwali is all about light overcoming darkness.   A personal favourite, Diwali for me is all about warmth, cheer and positive vibes.  As a run up to the festival, I enjoy creating bright spaces by decking up tables, nooks and corners with accessories like flowers, candles, vibrant furnishings, potpourri, lamps, rangolis and the like.
