Diwali – The Festival of Lights

Happy Diwali from SpiceBox Organics! Let us be a part of your celebrations this year. But first, here’s a quick crash course on what Diwali is: it is the festival of lights, and it symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. This year Diwali is on November 4. New to Diwali? Don’t worry, we got you. Already a pro? We got you too! 

In the first few days leading up to Diwali, people prepare by cleaning their houses and working spaces to welcome prosperity in the coming year. It needs to look good, smell good, and feel good. Pro tip: Tea Tree essential oil has natural cleaning properties and helps remove bad odour. A few drops of Rosemary essential oil in your laundry can do wonders, and cinnamon essential oil is known to kill bacteria and fungi. Dhanteras – the day before Diwali is considered to be an auspicious day to begin the new year, thus, people tend to buy something new on this day. Go ahead and make your shopping plans! 

Diwali preparations are incomplete without sweets, and SpiceBox Organics has just the thing for you. You can buy our Original or Cacao Organic Ladoos made with all natural ingredients and is the perfect healthy solution to your sweet cravings.

If you are in the mood for an adventure and want to learn how to make Indian sweets, say no more, because we have all the ingredients you could possibly need. In fact, to get you started, here’s our very own recipe on how to make gajar (carrot) ka halwa. 

On the day of Diwali we brighten up our homes with diyas. The night sky is filled with bright lights as everyone gets together to do puja to Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity. Then, family members feast together and celebrate the festival of lights!
