5 Precautions to Keep Your Home Safe & Beautiful This Tihar
As we gear up to celebrate Tihar 2082, our homes come alive with light, colors, and festive warmth. But with all the decorations, lights, and activity, it’s easy to overlook small things that can lead to safety hazards. Here are 5 simple precautions to keep your home glowing safely – without dimming the festive spirit.
1. Be Smart with Diyos and Candles
Nothing beats the charm of diyos and candles during Tihar, but they need care.
- Always place diyos on stable, flat surfaces.
- Keep them away from curtains, paper decorations, or furniture.
- Extinguish them before going to bed.
Tip: Try mixing diyos with LED tea lights to balance tradition and safety.
2. Don’t Overload Electrical Lines
Fairy lights add magic to the festival, but overloading sockets or using poor-quality wires can be risky.
- Use LED string lights—they consume less power and heat less.
- Avoid connecting multiple devices / lights in a single extension.
- Unplug all lights before sleeping or leaving the house.
- Secure Your Pet’s and Kids’ Zones
With sounds of fireworks and a rush of visitors, pets and kids can get anxious.
- Create a quiet, cozy corner for them.
- Keep decorative items, diyos, and wires out of their reach.
- Avoid using small decor pieces that can be choking hazards.
- Stay Fire-Ready
Festive decor can sometimes block exits or pile near electrical points.
- Keep flammable items (like dry flowers, curtains, and paper) away from light sources.
- Have a small fire extinguisher or a bucket of sand handy.
- Check that your kitchen gas is off before lighting diyos in nearby areas.
- Keep the Entrance Clean and Bright
Tihar is also about welcoming Laxmi — and your guests!
- Keep the rangoli area dry to prevent slipping.
- Light up pathways clearly, avoiding tangled wires or open flames.
- Use solar or motion sensor lights outdoors for safety and convenience.
✨ This Tihar, let your home shine not just with beauty — but with care, comfort, and consciousness.
From Vivid Interiors, we wish you a safe, bright, and joyous Tihar 2082!
