Trunk up reads as welcome and good fortune.
2.Lay a small petal/marigold rangoli outline near the entry.
StandardTidy rangoli, auspicious motifs.
3.Place LED diyas and a plate of sweets with a warm card.
CarefulLED diyas only — never open flame in the room.
What 'done right' looks like
- Auspicious motifs (trunk-up elephant, rangoli)
- Safe lighting (LED), tidy rangoli
Common mistakes → the fix
- ✗ Open-flame diyas
✓ Swap to LED — fire safety first.
