Diwali shopping is always more fun when you have a little bit of everything under one roof, from festive outfits and jewellery to pretty home decor and gifts for your loved ones. And if you're still looking to add a few festive touches to your home or find thoughtful gifts for the people you love, there's a Diwali Mela coming up in Lucknow that might just be worth dropping by.

Hosted by the Uttar Pradesh IAS Officer's Wife Association (UP IASOWA), this pop-up shopping mela is all set to bring together festive shopping, food, fun and a whole lot of Diwali cheer on October 24.

Diwali shopping rarely stops at just clothes. There's always a pretty little potli bag you didn't know you needed, a serving plate that would look lovely on the festive table, or that one home decor piece that makes your space feel ready for the celebrations. And this mela is bringing together plenty of such finds to explore.

From sarees and jewellery to handbags and potli bags, the shopping stalls offer plenty to browse through if you're looking to refresh your festive wardrobe or find accessories for the season. Those planning to give their homes a little Diwali makeover can also look forward to festive decor, cushion covers, cups and bowls, and serving plates that can add a thoughtful touch to the celebrations.

Of course, a festive mela is never just about shopping. With food and treats to dig into, music setting the mood, and lights adding to the festive atmosphere, there's room to make an outing of it rather than simply ticking things off your shopping list.

Bringing the kids along? The mela will also have fun games and activities for little ones, giving them something to look forward to while you explore the shopping stalls.

So, whether you're in the mood to browse festive finds, pick up decor for your home, shop for gifts, or simply spend some time enjoying the festive buzz with your family, this one could be a nice addition to your Diwali plans.

When: October 24 | 11AM to 10PM
