5 Beautiful and Easy Ganesh Chaturthi Decoration Ideas for Your Home

Whenever you’re confused about a decoration theme, go floral. You can use fresh marigold, rose, or jasmine flowers to make garlands.
Drape these garlands around the mandap. Hang them vertically from the top and then swirl them around pillars.
Now it’s not compulsory that you only have to use fresh flowers. If you’re someone who’s concerned about saving those little voiceless lives, you can also use artificial flowers.
Paper flowers or artificial garlands are also fun and budget-friendly. You could also reuse them over again for future decorations.
- Light-up like a Festival Pro
You don’t have to be penny-pinching while decorating the mandap with loads of fairy lights. Don’t think that lightning is only for Diwali. Ganesh Chaturthi is also incomplete without lights.
For this purpose, you could use diyas, fairy lights, or LED lights. If you wanna go for an eco-friendly flowery Ganesh Chaturthi, then marble flower diya could be your perfect choice.
Marble flower diya decoration in front of Ganpati mandap will give a cosy look. Nothing will be more festive than this warm flicker of diyas.
