This year, the festival of Diwali in Bilaspur was completely immersed in the colors of “Swadeshi”. Demand for traditional and indigenous goods was seen everywhere in the markets. Hindus completely distanced themselves from Chinese products. The effect of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal of Local for Vocal was clearly visible in the market.
People seemed very excited about traditional things. This time the excitement in the market was completely different. On one hand, earthen lamps made by potters, traditional decorative items and rangoli enlivened the atmosphere. Crowd was also seen in the market of bronze, brass and silver utensils.
The enthusiasm among the customers was so much that the goods at most of the stalls were sold out quickly. In Diwali shopping, people gave preference to earthen lamps and indigenous decorative items. So that a traditional and attractive atmosphere can be created in the homes. A record number of brooms were sold on Dhanteras.
Women’s groups benefited greatly from this. Rural trade also got a boost. The situation was such that people were seen keeping distance even from Chinese guns and firecrackers. Most were seen avoiding buying products that harm the environment like plastic.
A bounty of home made sweets
This time, apart from sweets, there was a craze for home-made sweets in the markets. The housewives prepared a variety of dishes and dishes by themselves. Which included Chhattisgarhi thethari, khurmi to laddu, gujiya and chakli. The guests were welcomed with dishes prepared by them. Which not only resulted in financial savings. In fact, the family also got benefits in terms of health.
