Garba is the traditional dance form of Gujarat that is very popular during Navratri. As the festive season comes near, many families and communities arrange Garba nights and parties. They look for innovative ideas to decorate the place and create a unique ambiance. Here are some DIY ideas to help you do the same.
Earthen Pots – The best way to make the Garba nights special, you should decorate your home with a similar theme. Earthen pots with holes in them are an essential part of the Navratri festival. These pots are considered a symbol of love, life and unity. These pots are worshipped and kept in the centre of the gathering. Decorate these pots with mirrors and colourful ribbons, or paint them in vibrant colours to enhance your theme.
Rangoli Designs – Rangoli is a traditional art of decorating the floor by creating beautiful designs with various materials such as paints, powder or flowers. Some people use dry rice powder and diyas too. Give way to your creativity and create magical designs.
Bamboo Craft Décor – Bamboo is an eco-friendly, lightweight material that can be used to make cane wicker baskets or other decorative items. Hang these wicker baskets on the walls and put some colourful flowers in them to enhance their look. You can even make rugs, mugs and different toys with bamboo and decorate them as you want.
Fruit Décor – Try making fruit diyas to give your décor an interesting twist. Peel an orange to make a diya or use a banana or apple to make incense holders. Melons and papayas can also be used to make candle holders.
Lighting – Adding lights and lamps to your home can instantly elevate the overall look. Opt for LED fairy lights or string lights to adorn a neutral wall or corner and feel the difference. Colourful lanterns can also be used in the hallway or verandas.
