Diwali Entrance Decoration Ideas
Your entrance is the first thing guests – and, as tradition says, Maa Lakshmi – see. Make it bright, welcoming and auspicious.
1. Hang a traditional toran on the main door
A toran (bandarwal) above the door is the most classic Diwali welcome. Choose a rich velvet or gota-work toran with matching Shubh Labh hangings on either side for a complete look.
Velvet cushion toran with gota and kundan work plus matching Shubh Labh hangings.

2. Add Shubh Labh hangings on both sides
Shubh (auspiciousness) and Labh (profit) are the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Hang Shubh on the left and Labh on the right of your main door – a lovely tradition for homes and shops alike.
An auspicious Kamdhenu cow and calf pair with Shubh and Labh – also a great Diwali gift under ₹500.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I decorate my home for Diwali on a budget?
Focus on three areas – the entrance, one feature wall and the pooja room. A toran, one set of hangings and a reusable rangoli mat can transform your home, and because they are reusable you only buy them once.
What is the best alternative to powder rangoli?
Reusable rangoli mats made of wool or fabric look just as beautiful, don’t smudge or stain the floor, and can be washed and used every year. See our guide to ready-made rangoli.
When should I start decorating for Diwali?
Most families clean the home before Dhanteras and put up décor on Dhanteras or Choti Diwali, so everything is ready for Lakshmi Puja.
