8 Pooja essentials for an ultimate festive ambience in your house

As the festival of light ‘Diwali’ is nearing, everyone is getting busy with the preparations. Joyous festivities, the noise of people in the market, and the aroma of delicious sweets fill the air with merriment. Diwali is one of India's highly-celebrated festivals as it marks the return of Lord Ram from a fourteen-year-long exile. People also believe that Goddess Laxmi, the goddess of prosperity, blesses the devotees with wealth and prosperity on this day. Hence, Pooja is an inseparable part of celebrating Diwali.

Diwali in India is more than just a traditional festival; it is a shopping festival. Shopping centres, malls, brands, and online platforms offer bumper sales. People throng the markets to buy new clothes, home decor, furniture, mobile phones, jewellery, utensils, kitchen and home appliances, and Pooja essentials. Check out the following Pooja essentials you need for Diwali Pooja for an ultimate festive ambience.

1. Diya:

Diya is present in all Hindu rituals and Poojas. They are lit during significant ceremonies and auspicious events to represent prosperity, enlightenment, warmth, peace and positivity. Buy the Evikreta brass Panchmukhi Diya to lighten your house with divine light and bring good luck.

2. Incense Sticks:

The sweet aroma of Kasturi, amber, white flower and saffron automatically enhances your mood and uplifts you. Agarbattis/incense sticks create a pure and serene atmosphere for Pooja and meditation. Since incense sticks are frequently used in Poojas, having plenty of them around is a good idea.
