Decorations to brighten up your Diwali!

Most Bengalureans know this-if something is not in Chickpet, you may never find it in the city! This holds true for everything on your Diwali shopping list too. From decorative lights to accessories and gifts, take time to visit Chickpet for an authentic shopping experience this season.

Every year, new trends hit the market. This year, metal string decorative lights are selling like hot cakes. They come in different shapes—balls, flowers, and others. There are also diya and star-shaped string lights available with multiple settings. This Diwali, go all out and light up your homes and balconies!
Water-activated lamps are yet another interesting buy. All you need to do is let them float in water, and they will automatically turn on. They would look absolutely amazing as a centrepiece for your party.

Trends to look out for
Lanterns are also in demand this season. They also come in different shapes, sizes, and colours. Rangoli stickers, festive greetings and banners are also available in plenty and priced very reasonably.

While the fancy floating lights retail at Rs 100 a piece, the string lights are priced between Rs 300-500, depending on the type and quality. A bit of haggling might save you some extra bucks.
