That means the shopping season is here. This time I am also doing full-fledged diwali shopping in Chandigarh. I mean why not Chandigarh has a plethora of renowned markets, like <a href=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/why-sector-17-market-chandigarh-is-so-famous-market-image-market-timing\/\">sector 17 market<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/shastri-market-chandigarh-sec-22-market-timing-and-things-to-do\/\">sector 22 Shastri market<\/a>, Patel market, Janta market at 3b1 Mohali, Krishna market 41d chd and Palika Bazar at sec19 Chandigarh. Additionally, Chandigarh hosts many festive carnivals, Diwali melas and &#8220;Hoonar haats&#8221; in various sectors. Also,<a href=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/best-street-food-in-chandigarh-best-chole-bhature-in-chandigarh\/\"> Chandigarh has the best street food<\/a>, that you can most definitely munch on while doing your diwali shopping in Chandigarh, you know like little refreshments here and there. Talking about Diwali, I am sure each one of us has special childhood memories of Diwali and diwali ki shopping. But, before directly jumping into Diwali shopping in Chandigarh part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-5a0e7358-2eaf-4c1b-a535-e021373e7b21\">Let\u2019s talk about festivals in India a little. Every festival has a story. Durga puja is a celebration of the killing of the \u201cMahisasur demon by\u201d Durga maa. In fact, today when we talk about women empowerment in India, this particular event \u201cDurga puja\u201d is often seen as a women&#8217;s power or \u201cNARI SHAKTI\u201d. Likewise, Deshhera is a celebration of \u201cBurai par achai ki jeet\u201d. Then comes Diwali, an extended celebration of \u201cBurai par achai ki jeet\u201d. &nbsp;And is also a celebration of the return of LORD RAM,&nbsp; MATA SITA and&nbsp; LORD LAXMAN to their homeland after 14 years. <audio src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Diwali_shopping_in__332-1.mp3\"><\/audio><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-472ceb0f-5827-4ffa-ac27-d3fb15a26b14\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/5-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"diwali shopping in chandigarh \"\/><figcaption>DIWALI SHOPPING In CHANDIGARH<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_33_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"display: none;\"><label for=\"item\" aria-label=\"Table of Content\"><i class=\"ez-toc-glyphicon ez-toc-icon-toggle\"><\/i><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"item\"><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1'><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Why_shopping_for_Diwali_is_important\" title=\"Why shopping for Diwali is important\">Why shopping for Diwali is important<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#The_toughest_question_and_task_of_diwali_shopping\" title=\"The toughest question and task of diwali shopping\">The toughest question and task of diwali shopping<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Diwali_season_is_the_season_of_traditional_attire\" title=\"Diwali season is: the season of&nbsp; traditional attire\">Diwali season is: the season of&nbsp; traditional attire<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Diwali_shopping_in_Chandigarh_Home_decor\" title=\"Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Home d\u00e9cor\">Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Home d\u00e9cor<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Diwali_gift_shopping_in_Chandigarh\" title=\"Diwali gift shopping in Chandigarh\">Diwali gift shopping in Chandigarh<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Diwali_memories_Diwali_safai\" title=\"Diwali memories: &#8220;Diwali safai &#8220;\">Diwali memories: &#8220;Diwali safai &#8220;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Diwali_shopping_in_Chandigarh_Sweets_order\" title=\"Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Sweets order\">Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Sweets order<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#FAQ\" title=\"FAQ\">FAQ<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/diwali-shopping-in-chandigarh-diwali-gift-ideas\/#Q_6_Do_different_states_make_different_types_of_Rangoli_on_Diwali\" title=\"Q 6.

India certainly celebrates so many festivals every, with no such type of shopping involved in any festival. so why Diwali only? What is so special about the festival of diwali and diwali shopping? what I have discussed earlier, is that to celebrate the return of Lord Ram to his home and to welcome them people decorate their homes with lights, lanterns, and rangoli wear new clothes, and eat sweets, exchange gifts. That is where the whole diwali shopping comes into the picture. Also, because of extended festivals that come immediately after diwali that is &#8220;Bhai doj &#8220;People collectively do the shopping for all the festivals together with diwali shopping. I remember seeing my mom making a diwali shopping list and planning schedules for shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-564d72d3-b8ec-4a2c-8c15-7d91ca8ff484\">I also remember how my mom used to give some time for my family members to think and give their suggestions on the diwali shopping list. sometimes my family used to have formal meetings to discuss important things to do. But unlike, every year this year am doing diwali shopping with you guys \u2026 you guys are coming with me for diwali shopping in <a href=\"https:\/\/techedo.com\/blog\/chandigarh-the-city-beautiful-of-india\/\">Chandigarh, the city of beautiful India.<\/a> virtually of course. Also, we all know that you can&#8217;t finish whole diwali shopping in one day. You need three or four days and a round of the market to finish diwali shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-d36d3e4a-1d7e-422b-9aa6-8d1034aea79b\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/3-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"why doing shopping on diwali is important \"\/><figcaption>diwali shopping in Chandigarh: why people do shopping on diwali<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-719e3327-be70-48a1-bc95-794dbef03e96\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_toughest_question_and_task_of_diwali_shopping\"><\/span>The toughest question and task of diwali shopping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-d979494e-2574-4d07-a598-2b679191e61e\">The major agenda of my so-called formal family meeting is not merely a suggestion on the Diwali shopping list but to address the elephant in the room.&nbsp; that is \u2026. Any guess? &nbsp;Of course.. diwali gifts \u2026 what to give as a diwali gift to whom. This used to be a difficult question to answer and the hardest task every year to find a unique nice, and very important non-repetitive diwali gift for family and friends. Honestly growing up I never really understood why giving a unique diwali gift every year is so important. That my family has to think about this every year during diwali time. But adult me understand, why my parents used to put so much effort while deciding on diwali gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-ba7c2587-573d-486f-a815-b0b4122a0d0e\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diwali_season_is_the_season_of_traditional_attire\"><\/span>Diwali season is: the season of&nbsp; traditional attire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-38b95746-19ed-4c2b-831c-3e1aabda1a7f\">you all know the drill, the festive season in India means it is time to dress up in your finest traditional attire. Which obviously means shopping for some brand new traditional clothes to rock this diwali. Eventually, I started my diwali shopping in Chandigarh with clothes shopping. My, first stop was Shastri Market Sec 22 for traditional attire shopping. I had to buy an outfit for diwali night and one for &#8220;bai dhooj&#8221;. so started to look for festive season dresses, looked at the market a little and finally found the dress I wanted to buy. Then the hunt continues for another look. I found the clothes, &nbsp;that &nbsp;I was looking for this festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-b3b4db26-58ff-4661-a1f4-bebab837f5dd\">Then I started to look for matching accessories and footwear. My shopping for a traditional dress for this Diwali was done. It was time for a little refreshment so headed towards the exit of Shastri market to look for something to eat and drink. I had my food its time to return to shopping again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-30215002-1e52-4a78-a652-a072ec4379af\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/6-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"clothes shopping for diwali in chandigarh \"\/><figcaption>diwali shopping in Chandigarh: traditional attire shopping in Chandigarh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-6c376e4d-3295-4b2b-9504-b0a7c28b8c13\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diwali_shopping_in_Chandigarh_Home_decor\"><\/span>Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Home d\u00e9cor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-a5bf71d8-d1e8-475d-9636-497667cffad1\">You know that Diwali is synonymous with the beautification of homes. The house should look new, fresh and vibrant and most importantly diwali ready. Chandigarh has an abundance of market, like Sector 22 Shastri market, SE19 palika bazaar, and local diwali melas and carnivals that has beautiful home decor items. From stunning Rangoli designs to elegant Diyas and lanterns. Obviously, I had to buy Diyas and rangoli, Lantern for home, I was still in the Shastri market, so started to look for diya and rangoli. There are actually so many shops that sell fancy well-decorated diya, lantern but I want to buy them from potter people or street vendors directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-5f1581a8-332b-42c8-b37f-50e482e0a9fc\">By doing this I want to help them to get the actual price of diya and also it is my way to not only say \u201cHappy diwali\u201d&nbsp; but actually make their Diwali happy by earning profit. so I found one and bought Diya\u2019s beautifully decorated lantern. I actually loved the lantern pattern and design so much that I bought 5 of them from the same vendor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-12c03fb8-1e31-41bc-a59e-3afdeaca1f1a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/4-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"home decore shopping in chandigarh \"\/><figcaption>diwali shopping in Chandigarh: home decore shopping in Chandigarh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-86056fcc-5898-46ac-bdf1-6df019dfd422\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diwali_gift_shopping_in_Chandigarh\"><\/span>Diwali gift shopping in Chandigarh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-8aa42512-1b44-452d-b694-6efb016c6ab3\">After finishing my shopping for home d\u00e9cor now it&#8217;s time for shopping for a Diwali gift. Some people even use Google &#8221; to get some diwali gift ideas. My answer to those people would be if happen to know your family too well, you are spending time with them you will automatically know what is it that your family members need as a gift. My tip for choosing a gift is to know your family members what is it that they have always wanted, what is it they need, can use, and what is it that can make their present life easy. Then if you have money then buy that thing. Gift it to your family members, they will use it and always remember that it was a gift from your side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-f425a6c4-3f6b-4caf-a018-3a6b91b0b355\">Back to gifts, my sister wanted to have a wooden carved temple from the furniture market. Bought that temple for here a brand new smartphone for mom, and a new stylist frame for my father&#8217;s eyeglasses. My brother bought a traditional kurta and Nehru jacket to wear this festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-abb3f3f8-5733-40a5-96d9-08b86554f5b1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/2-6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"diwali gift  idea and shopping \"\/><figcaption>diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Diwali gift shopping in Chandigarh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fa81bdc0-76e7-4683-9c2a-0274777d9c2a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diwali_memories_Diwali_safai\"><\/span>Diwali memories: &#8220;Diwali safai &#8220;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-26e29214-7345-4e7a-86f3-fec483b97acd\">I don&#8217;t talk about my childhood memories with you guys. Before I take to guys to our next destination which is obviously &#8220;methai ki shopping&#8221; for Diwali. let&#8217;s just briefly talk about my childhood, I have three special memories of Diwali. First is obviously \u201cDiwali ki shopping\u201d and \u201cDiwali ki safai\u201d. we were literally forced by our parents to help. Actually, it is not literal force. At first, I used to be excited about it that we were doing something new but then I got to know we have to do this for a couple of weeks. And the whole house will be upside down and messy temporarily before it looks good. That being said my second childhood memory of Diwali festive would be that Hindi essay on Diwali in the school that goes like \u201cdiwali ek diyo ka tohar hai\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-72c2bbb0-8e86-44d5-ad4f-233e21560abf\">My adult memory of Diwali would be every year when the festive season approached my mother would call me and ask me what is your diwali plan this year. What does she mean by this question is when I will be visiting home for diwali? And every year these questions serve as a cue to me that it\u2019s time for Diwali shopping in Chandigarh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-17df20d3-e021-4507-b632-883b8d1ad583\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Diwali-ki-safai-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"diwali ki safai , diwali childhood memory \"\/><figcaption>Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: diwali ki safai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b3ed2301-7148-40fe-a992-458f1c0bd90a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diwali_shopping_in_Chandigarh_Sweets_order\"><\/span>Diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Sweets order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-c00f7ee5-8efc-4624-a509-2965b91cd3a1\">I think everyone knows that&nbsp; No Indian festival is complete without indulging in delectable sweets and snacks. We do not buy sweets this early for Diwali but we give advance orders to local Mithai shop keeper. It is a &nbsp;bakery actually called Guru Nanak sweets. And you all know the drill \u2026 &nbsp;that is variety of sweets are needed. No one will eat \u201cson papdi\u201d and \u201cdry petha\u201d&nbsp; again and again. So we had to be innovative with sweets, we gave orders of 4 different types of sweets and they gave us time when we can collect our order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\" id=\"block-b091d142-b98d-45f8-bbd4-21c5577c3348\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thechaiverse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/1-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"sweets shopping for festival season \"\/><figcaption>diwali shopping in Chandigarh: Diwali sweets shopping in Chandigarh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-e4fe732e-dcef-4a2b-ad5f-053e93a1a8d9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-e3574de3-5233-4721-a94b-f5ea74e63221\">Diwali shopping in Chandigarh was a &nbsp;delightful experience. It became memorable because I had to recall everything again to share with you guys. Earlier in this blog, I was talking about diwali ki safai in my childhood. But, in Adulthood, I was never able to join my family for diwali safai anymore as I was staying in the city, but I did make it to the end phase of it which is decoration with lights, and hanging lanterns. Further, talking about the diwali shopping experience, some people prefer online shopping for Diwali due to mega offers and festive season sales. &nbsp;But I have always preferred offline shopping, especially for festivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-69b69352-c842-4e17-a8ce-e0fbc2475008\">For diwali shopping, it is not mere shopping. But, you get to see the whole community in the market. Markets are usually decorated in vibrant colours. Markets look lively, and full of celebration. You can also see genuine happiness and joy on people\u2019s faces. Overall it gives you a glimpse of life. Online shopping for Diwali does not give this experience and feeling of festivals and Diwali. Street food, festive carnivals, and diwali melas make offline diwali shopping in Chandigarh memorable at least for me. And finally \u2026 Happy Diwali! to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b9384c28-2ffb-4cfe-9361-ae907292a136\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span><strong>FAQ<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-407b4f76-6b67-40e9-a157-dbed7a30bef6\"><strong>Q1 .

The Festival of Diwali is incomplete without the creative and colourful Rangoli.
