This concern of pollution cannot be dismissed, and sensible steps can definitely be taken towards reducing it. For this, you will have to make changes in both the way and mood of celebrating Diwali. And you have to start it from your home: Illuminate our home with lamps. Believe so much in shortcuts. That we have found alternatives to lamps also. Lights that look like candles and lamps have now started illuminating our Diwali. But, have you ever wondered why we used to light mustard oil lamps ?
