Diwali is incomplete without crackers, and we are expecting a positive response. With just two days to go, we’re hopeful for a good turnout, especially since this year, the cracker stalls have stocked up on green crackers, said a salesperson from Shanti FireWorks, who sells handicrafts and decorative items at his store in Begum Bazar.
Floating and scented diyas, as well as battery-operated water diyas, are quite popular among customers, so I’ve stocked up on these this year. We’ve been receiving a good response and with just two days left until the festival, we are fully stocked and ready to welcome more customers. “We have stocked up on various decorative items this year, anticipating good business and it’s slowly picking up. Last weekend, we saw a heavy rush in the market. Due to the increase in raw material prices. We’ve raised the price of terracotta diyas by five percent this year.” said a diya seller at Pot Market, Secunderabad. (Maxim News)
