Lifestyle Desk – Ganesh Chaturthi Decoration Ideas: As soon as the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi arrives, an atmosphere of enthusiasm and devotion starts creating in the houses. People start preparations several days in advance to welcome Ganpati Bappa. From cleanliness of the house to puja thali, flowers and prasad, efforts are made to make everything special. The biggest center of attraction in these preparations is Bappa's court i.e. Puja Mandap. If proper lighting is used in the decoration of the mandap, then the puja corner can be made very beautiful and attractive even at low cost. Let us know how to decorate Bappa's pavilion with lights.
Give soft look to the pavilion with fairy lights
Fairy lights are one of the easiest and budget-friendly options for decorating Bappa's court. Small flashing lights can be placed around the mandap, on the back wall or on the curtain. Warm white fairy lights give a calm and relaxing ambiance to the worship space. When used with floral fringes, the look of the mandap looks even more beautiful.
Create an attractive backdrop with LED string lights
If you want to give a little modern touch to Bappa's court, you can use LED string lights. A beautiful backdrop can be created by placing them behind any cloth, net or decorative curtain. Colors like golden, red, orange or warm white can be good choices for the puja mandap. However, it is better to avoid too much colorful and bright light, so that the beauty of Bappa's idol and the place of worship does not get suppressed.
Combination of flowers and lights
The combination of lights with fringes of marigold, roses or other flowers can give a traditional and attractive look to the mandap. A beautiful frame can be made by placing small LED lights between the fringes of flowers. Apart from this, pillars decorated with flowers can be made on both sides of the pavilion and lights can be draped over them.
Traditional style will come with the light of lamps
Diyas always have a special place in the decoration of Ganesh Utsav. Using earthen lamps along with electric lights adds traditional beauty to the decoration. Diyas can be placed at a safe distance in front of or around the mandap. If there are small children or pets in the house, then LED lamps can also be opted for instead of open lamps.
Decorate Bappa's court in a small flat like this
A small house or flat does not require much space for decoration. A part of the wall can be made a backdrop and fairy lights can be installed around it. A puja corner can be prepared by placing a small rangoli, some flowers and LED lamps below. This will take up less space and the pavilion will also look attractive.
Along with decoration, security is also important
Do not ignore safety while installing lights. Do not use damaged or frayed wires and keep electrical connections away from water or moisture. Avoid plugging too many appliances into the same socket. If real lamps or candles are being lit in the mandap, keep them at a sufficient distance from curtains, flowers and other flammable decorative items.
To decorate Bappa's court on Ganesh Chaturthi, it is not necessary to spend money on expensive decorative items. The mandap can be made beautiful by using flowers, rangoli, fairy lights, LED lamps and decorative items present in the house with a little creativity.
