Celebrate a new lunar year in our country with renewed hopes and a fresh zeal, surrounded with our loved ones. The lunar calendar has been helping us to divide agriculture and farming activities for centuries, and continues to be a special day for new beginnings for most of us. Be it Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, Vishu, Bihu, Cheti Chand, Tamil Puthandu, Chaitra Sukladi, Navreh Sajibu Cheiraoba or Baisakhi, it’s time for festivities, colour and lots of happy cheer. Here are 4 ways to ring in the cheer and make way for a joyous time with your family and friends.
Declutter, Organise and Decorate your space
Decorating any space first begins with clearing off the old and reorganising what you have. Create a harmonious balance with colours and textures after you’re done cleaning. Some greenery in your home can instantly brighten the space, giving it a fresh and lively vibe. Add in a bed-side lamp or lantern for a dash of style. Along with these, do not forget to organise your dry snacks and condiments in handy and artsy jars for when friends and family come over.

Add a Spark of Colour to your room
A subtle play of sunlight and some bright colours can instantly brighten up any living space. With small changes in your home-décor, you can have a different vibe for every set of guests you invite. Adorn your room with bright-hued curtains and stylish curtain tie backs. As you welcome your guests to sumptuous meals, beautify your table with a printed table runner that will make all your showpieces stand out.

Welcome in Positive Vibes:
Allow yourself to be immersed in positive vibes and good energy, as you plan auspicious ceremonies and gatherings with your family. Make use of a beautiful toran to welcome guests at your place and waft in the fragrance of a good incense as you burn some dhoop in an attractive dhoop burner. Continue all your rituals by making use of an aesthetically pleasing puja thali that has your favourite sweets waiting for you to gorge on!

Lay down a feast
Every celebration is incomplete without a grand feast. Serve your family and friends with love and make them feel comfortable and at-ease. Cook up their favourites using stylish measuring cups that you’d love to bake with and serve those delicacies on vibrant table mats for a festive look. Lay the table with stylish serving spoons for a complete look.

We at ABFRL, believe that the common thread binding all our ceremonies and celebrations is our love for each other and at this ceremonious time in the country let’s truly celebrate this bond.
