With the advent of the festive season, local markets in Dadar transformed into lively hubs, offering an array of traditional goods and festive decorations.

Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights, is a significant cultural celebration in India, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil; it also marks the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after a 14-year exile.

The Dadar market is a shoppers' haven, as people from all walks of life flock to purchase essential items for the festivities, gifts, and decor for the Diwali celebrations.

Shoppers can explore a diverse range of traditional Diwali goods, including clay diyas, colourful rangoli, decorative candles, and festive clothing.

The colourful bazaars of Dadar showcased the rich tapestry of Indian culture and tradition, offering shoppers a delightful experience.

The market was adorned with vibrant, eye-catching lanterns filling the air with a sense of joy and anticipation.

Diwali is a time for families to come together, and shopping for the festival is an integral part of this bonding experience.

Apart from shopping, making special sweet and savoury snacks for the festivities with family becomes an avenue for people to get together and make merry.

Ahead of Diwali, people deep clean their homes before decorating them; it is done to make space for new goodies, new memories and prosperity.
