4 Ways To Brighten Up Someone's Deepavali

1. Help out with the Deepavali cooking

Everyone looks forward to the food during Deepavali! Why not help out the preparation of these scrumptious dishes? Most homes would have an entire spread of food on Deepavali, and your family or friends celebrating could use a helping hand. But make sure to check if it’s alright with them first. Who knows, you could even learn a few new recipes to try out at home!

2. Join in the fun with kolam making

Kolams are usually made of coloured rice or flour, and are so much fun to make, especially with friends or family! The concept of kolams according to Indian philosophy is to live in harmony with all creatures around us, hence the rice is left for the ants and birds to eat! Sadly, many people now are unaware of this significance and make kolams with chemicals & stone powders - lethal for these little ants.
