Chennai: With the festive season at its peak and Deepavali just around the corner, your list of to-dos would be just as busy as your social commitments.
From decorating the house and preparing festive food, to searching for the most special ‘Puja ki thaali’ or finding the perfect gifts for your family and friends, there’s a lot that demands your attention.
While the celebrations might not be as grand this year due to the ongoing pandemic, Deepavali is still an important moment for sharing happiness and love with the family.
With the focus on well-being and safety this year, Deepavali can also be an opportunity for you to look out for the health of your loved ones by sharing gifts that will add to their wellness during these unprecedented times.
Instead of regular options look at more thoughtful and mindful gifts like handmade diyas or candles, decorative items or clothes made of recycled products or healthy and nutritious foods like almonds.
So this year, celebrate a safe and a healthy Deepavali inclusive of all the regular festivities while spending time with the family. Hang some fairy lights, decorate diyas, make rangoli to welcome Goddess Lakshmi into your heart and home, but do this while focusing on healthy eating and maintaining social distancing.
