It is a festival of lights, signifying the triumph of good over evil, and light over the darkness. Earlier on this day, people gathered to celebrate this joyous occasion by lighting diyas, decorating their houses, distributing sweets, visiting their loved ones, and offering gifts to express their love and compassion. However, this year Diwali has to be celebrated differently to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you are wondering how to keep the spirit of the Diwali celebration alive white still maintaining social distancing here is the answer.
Order the necessary items online:
You can avoid stepping out of your home by ordering all the necessary items online. You can purchase elegant, handcrafted decorative items, diyas, online diwali gifts, and everything else you need. This is the best way to avoid coming in contact with a lot of people and exposing yourself to the virus.
Online shopping saves you from the hassle of visiting shop after shop looking for ideal decorative items and save your time too. You can explore the huge collection of a variety of decorative items and gifts online, and pick the ones that interest you. You can make the payment online and avoid paying in cash.

Celebrate within your home:
Today, celebrating this festival of lights within your home is a necessity rather than a choice.
