Early in the morning of Diwali day, I decided to visit the wholesale flower market at Dadar to purchase a Marigold garland. The price was in the range of Rs. 20-40 per meter. I purchased seven meters of marigold garland and the cost was Rs. 20 per meter. And then I inquire about marigold petals. Rs. 40 per kilogram, she said. We paid Rs. 20 and had approx. half kg. marigold petals. Yes, the wholesale market at Dadar, Mumbai is indeed the cheapest from the market I have nearby house. Total Rs. 160 I paid and was carrying Marigold flowers inside a sack. If I was at home maybe the same flowers would have cost Rs. 300 or more, I guess.
Colorful Diwali Lantern
There are two roads one is Lady Jamshedjee Road and another is T H Kataria Marg at Mahim and numerous shops selling colorful Diwali lanterns. I inquired about the price of various colorful Diwali lanterns. The price range was 100-250 rupees, but the one I purchased (check photo – Colorful Diwali Lantern from Lady Jamshedjee Road, Mahim, Mumbai) was for Rs. 100. Artistic colorful design and space to hang an electric bulb. When I hung it with the ceiling the beauty of the ceiling and home was enhanced. Thank you – said I.

Decorative Diyas from Kumbharwada (Dharavi) for Diwali
Pottery shops next to each other. I was at Kumbharwada, Dharavi (wholesale market of pottery), Mumbai inquiring about the price of various clay products for Diwali and I saw decorative Diwali Diyas. Attractive colors available in green (the one I buy), red and dark red. The price was Rs. 250 for 100 diyas.
