Diwali is all about lights, family, and happiness. But lately, this beautiful festival has also become about smoke, noise, and pollution. What if you could celebrate Diwali the old-fashioned way, with diyas, family time, and fresh air?
That’s exactly what Pristine Woods Resort in Dehradun offers. This beautiful resort sits in the peaceful Doon Valley, where you can celebrate Diwali without firecrackers, pollution, or city chaos.
What is Green Diwali?
Green Diwali means celebrating our festival in an eco-friendly way. Instead of bursting crackers, you light diyas. Instead of plastic decorations, you use flowers and rangoli. Instead of staying in polluted cities, you spend time in nature.
During Diwali, air quality in cities becomes really bad. Pollution levels can go up by 30-40%. By choosing Green Diwali, you protect your family’s health and teach your kids to care for the environment.
Why Choose Pristine Woods for Your Diwali Celebration?
Clean Air and Beautiful Nature
The resort is just 45 minutes from Dehradun Railway Station and 75 minutes from the airport. It’s surrounded by green forests and gardens. You get fresh mountain air instead of city smog.
Imagine waking up to birds singing instead of firecracker noise. Think about your kids playing on green lawns under clear blue sky. This is what Diwali at Pristine Woods feels like.
Comfortable Rooms for Your Family
We have different types of rooms for families of all sizes:
Deluxe Rooms: Perfect for couples or small families, with a king-size bed and a private balcony.
Deluxe Double Rooms: Great for bigger families. These rooms have two king-size beds and can fit up to 6 people comfortably.
Pinewood Cottages: Beautiful wooden cottages with multiple beds and a dining area. Perfect for joint families who want to stay together.
All rooms have modern facilities like AC, TV, hot water, and tea/coffee making equipment. Each room also has a balcony or verandah where you can sit and enjoy the mountain views.
Fun Green Diwali Activities at the Resort
Traditional Diya Lighting
We organize a special diya lighting ceremony using clay lamps and natural oil. You and your family can decorate the resort pathways with hundreds of diyas. The golden glow they create is magical and way better than electric lights.
Kids love this activity. They learn about traditions while making beautiful memories.
Making Rangoli with Flowers
Our team teaches you how to make rangoli using flower petals, colored rice, and natural powders like turmeric. No chemical colors, just safe, natural materials.
We have big open lawns where every family can make their own rangoli design. It’s creative, fun, and totally safe for kids.
Delicious Festival Food
Food is a big part of Diwali! Our chefs prepare special festive meals using fresh, local ingredients. We serve traditional sweets, snacks, and proper North Indian dishes.
All our food is made in-house without artificial colors or chemicals. If you have food allergies or preferences, just tell us, we’ll make special meals for you.
Lakshmi Puja in the Garden
You can do your Lakshmi puja in our beautiful garden or covered hall. The peaceful environment makes the prayers more meaningful. No traffic noise, no pollution, just you and your family with nature around you.
We can arrange a priest if you need one, or you can do your own puja in a special area we set up for you.
Morning Nature Walks
Start your Diwali morning with a walk through the forest. Breathe fresh mountain air, see beautiful trees, and feel completely relaxed. It’s so different from the smoky Diwali mornings in cities.
We also have meditation sessions at sunrise and sunset. Perfect for peace and calm.
Cultural Programs in the Evening
Instead of loud crackers, enjoy music and dance shows. Local artists perform traditional Garhwali folk songs and dances. It’s entertaining and teaches you about local culture too.
These shows happen on our big lawn under the stars. It is very peaceful and beautiful.
