How to light up your porch this Diwali

**How to Light Up Your Porch This Diwali**
*By Simran Jeet | Oct 13, 2025, 07:21 PM*

Diwali, the festival of lights, is all about illuminating your home with warmth and positivity. Since your porch is the first thing guests notice, decorating it with creative lighting can instantly set a festive mood. From traditional diyas to modern LED setups, there are endless ways to make your porch glow beautifully this Diwali.

### 1. Floating Diya Bowls
Place water bowls on steps or tables, float diyas or tea lights inside, and sprinkle rose petals. This simple yet elegant idea reflects light beautifully and adds a calm, serene aura to your porch. Floating diya bowls create a mesmerizing visual effect, combining tradition and creativity while keeping the Diwali spirit alive in a unique, charming way.

### 2. Repurposed Bottle Lights
Upcycle empty glass bottles by painting them or leaving them clear, then add fairy lights or candles inside. Place these bottles on railings or tables for a modern, eco-friendly effect. These bottle lights are sustainable, visually striking, and easy to arrange, making your porch a cozy, contemporary corner perfect for Diwali celebrations.

### 3. Lantern Pathway
Illuminate your porch walkway with decorative metal or paper lanterns for a festive touch. The cut-out designs cast beautiful patterns of light and shadow, creating a warm, inviting ambiance. This arrangement not only guides guests safely but also adds charm and elegance, turning your pathway into a magical Diwali display.

### 4. Traditional Diyas for a Classic Touch
Nothing captures the essence of Diwali better than traditional clay diyas. Place them along the steps or windows of your porch to create a warm, inviting glow. For an added sensory delight, use scented oil in the diyas to combine fragrance with light. Arranging them symmetrically enhances the aesthetic appeal and gives a timeless festive feel.

### 5. Geometric Light Frames
Create a modern Diwali look by placing small LED lights inside wire or wooden geometric shapes. Hang them from the porch ceiling or mount them on walls to add a stylish, artistic touch. This approach blends contemporary design with festive illumination, giving your porch a chic and glowing ambiance.

Celebrate this Diwali by lighting up your porch creatively and warmly, making it a welcoming space filled with positivity and festive cheer!

How much gold can Indians own? Know the law

**How Much Gold Can Indians Own? Know the Law**
*By Dwaipayan Roy | Oct 13, 2025, 05:48 PM*

With Dhanteras and Diwali approaching, many families are considering their gold purchases. Understanding the legal aspects of gold ownership in India is essential before making any investment.

### Historical Background
The Gold Control Act of 1968 once imposed restrictions on gold ownership in India. However, this law was repealed in 1990. Since then, there are no legal limits on how much gold a person can own, provided they can prove the legitimate source of the gold through invoices or inheritance documents.

### Limits on Seizing Gold Jewelry During Raids
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has issued specific guidelines for income tax officials during raids on gold holdings. According to a circular dated May 11, 1994, there are limits on the quantity of gold jewelry that cannot be seized during such raids. These limits are:

– 500 grams for married women
– 250 grams for unmarried women
– 100 grams per male member of the family, regardless of marital status

These measures are intended to protect genuine personal holdings from confiscation.

### Tax Implications on Gold
The tax treatment of gold depends on its form and the holding period:

– Physical gold, Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and other digital gold products are considered capital assets.
– If sold within 12 months of purchase, the gains are treated as short-term capital gains (STCG) and taxed according to the individual’s income tax slab (ranging from 5% to 30%).
– If held for more than 12 months, the gains qualify for long-term capital gains (LTCG) tax at a flat rate of 20% under the current tax regime, without the benefit of indexation.

### Conclusion
There is no restriction on the amount of gold an individual can own in India today. However, it is crucial to maintain proper documentation to prove the source of gold and to be aware of tax liabilities when selling gold assets. As the festive season nears, investors should make informed decisions regarding their gold purchases to stay compliant with the law.

WATCH: This short Irish film features the best parts of old Ireland

**Songs of the Emerald Isle** (1955) — A Timeless Irish Travelogue Now Streaming Free on IFIPlayer

*Songs of the Emerald Isle*, an enchanting Irish travelogue from 1955, is now available to watch for free on the Irish Film Institute’s IFIPlayer. This short film beautifully showcases five much-loved Irish airs and ballads set against the stunning backdrop of the Irish landscape.

Featured performances include Bing Crosby singing “How Can You Buy Killarney?” (from his *St Patrick’s Day Parade* album), John Feeney’s rendition of “The Connemara Shore,” and Connie Foley’s heartfelt “Lovely Leitrim.” These evocative songs of yearning and nostalgia are brought to life with vivid imagery of Irish Travellers, fishermen, foresters, and farmers, alongside ancient monuments, lush farmlands, seascapes, and the majestic River Shannon.

In a charming scene set in Cavan, the Power Dancers and Ulster champion Marie McCluskey perform lively jigs and reels in a schoolyard, accompanied by an accordion player, capturing the vibrant spirit of traditional Irish dance.

**Filming Locations**

The film features picturesque locations including:

– Oughterard, Ashford Castle, County Mayo
– Fenagh Abbey, County Leitrim
– County Galway
– Cavan
– The River Shannon
– The western coast of Ireland

This digital copy was created from the only surviving print of the film, preserved in the IFI Irish Film Archive collection. The original 16mm print shows signs of wear and tear—such as occasional slight picture jumps and audio gaps—testaments to its popularity and frequent screenings. The Irish Film Institute hopes these minor imperfections will not detract from your enjoyment of this charming cultural gem.
