  • Puja Room– The Puja Room or Thakur Ghar, as it is popularly known in Bengal is undoubtedly the most sacred space to start off your Puja home décor. You can bring home a new mandir or singhashan for the deities or clean and decorate the old one. Decorating the place with diyas and fresh flowers everyday will not just give out a Puja vibe but will bring in a lot of positivity. Also, try Rangoli or Alpana in the Puja Room.

From metal idols to wall hanging items, a lot of Durga themed decorative pieces are available in the market. Pick up as per your budget and you are good to go. If time permits, create your own wall hangings and paper crafts. This would be unique and blend seamlessly in your Puja décor. You might consider adding few Puja theme cushions in your sofa since this is exactly where your Puja addas will take shape.

 

  • Bedroom– Upgrade your upholstery. Spread out brand new bed sheets and change the curtains, preferably in bright colors. Pep colors like Red, Orange, Yellow and Blue will work wonders. Also, keep floating diyas and light them up at night and you are all set to transcend into cosmic divinity!
