Cracker Categories for Diwali
Family Crackers
Ground chakkar, flower pots, and ladi crackers are perfect for family celebrations at home. They are visually satisfying, moderately loud, and easy to use safely in a residential setting.
Fancy Crackers
Multi-shot boxes, colour-changing aerials, and themed novelty packs create a premium Diwali experience. Ideal for open spaces and parties.
Kids Crackers
Sparklers, pencil crackers, and small flower pots are the safest for children with adult supervision. Low noise, high visual impact.
Sound Crackers
Traditional vedi (bombs) and ladi for those who prefer the classic Diwali sound experience. Best used in open spaces away from residential areas.
Eco-Friendly Crackers
Reduced-sulphur and green cracker formulations that comply with Supreme Court pollution norms. Lower smoke, lower particulate emissions — same festive joy.
Diwali Cracker Safety Tips
- Always burst crackers in an open area away from buildings and parked vehicles
- Keep a bucket of water nearby to extinguish spent crackers
- Children must be supervised by adults at all times
- Never hold lit crackers in your hand — use the full stick for ground placement
- Follow local municipal guidelines on permitted burst timing
- Store unused crackers in a cool, dry place away from flame sources
