For Kadambari Salvi, the Covid-19 pandemic has brought about a visible change in her Diwali celebrations. While they used to shop for decorations for the house, her family now makes them at home. “Since decorations weren’t available during the lockdown, we decided to make the lantern at home itself, apart from the other decorations,” shares Salvi, who talks to us amid the hustle and bustle of the festival preparations. The eco-friendly lantern has been made from cloth and the diyas have been hand-painted.

Being a businesswoman herself, the Lalbaug resident believes in promoting and supporting other small vendors who also make eco-friendly products like her and has been leading by example. “We have been even giving our relatives all the mithai and ‘faral’ in cardboard boxes instead of anything made of plastic and will continue to do that this year too,” she adds.
