Special Toranam for the Festive Days


Decorating homes during the festive season in India is such a colorful element of Indian tradition. Hanging Toranam to the main door posts is a symbol of celebration, be it a festival, or a wedding or an auspicious day. People from every part of India carry this tradition of hanging Mango leaves or garlands made of flowers such a Marigold or Chrysanthimum to the door posts during festivals.

The contemporary times have always brought innovative ideas in every decorative aspect. Using Plastic flowers instead of fresh flowers to ensure the flowers look fresh always and now flowers made of paper for an eco-friendly reason or flowers made with wool or silk for a trendy effect are all innovations.


If you cannot find one perfect garland for your main door in the market, then browse through the web on PINTEREST or Google for ideas and make your own. Using cardboard, some glitter paints and motifs or a shimmer fabric and some dangling beads you can have your friends or siblings help you make one for every festival coming next. Toranams look so inviting and attractive. If you have the time and patience, they can be your gifts to Friends and Relatives.
