It's that time of year again when the air sparkles with laughter, lights, and the familiar thrill of Diwali crackers. But this season, there’s a greener way to keep the fun alive, with beej phatakas, or seed crackers that don’t just burst with joy, but bloom into life afterwards. Made from biodegradable paper embedded with seeds, these little wonders let you celebrate, then plant the memory. 

Bombay Greens stands out for its vibrant, playful designs and locally sourced seeds. The festive table gets an artisanal touch from 21 Fools, which offers crackers with unique seed combinations and quirky, imaginative packaging that appeals to kids and adults alike. Shudh Naturals makes eco-festivities a family affair with kits that include multiple crackers, and DIY planting instructions.
