As part our #LocalWaliDiwali series, we take you to Lajpat Nagar, where
local vendors
are still waiting for the usual rush of the market ahead of
Diwali. The Central Market in
Lajpat Nagar
has many vendors who are selling
rangoli
colours
, earthen
diyas
,
Diwali décor
for the festival. But they share that though people are visiting the market, only a few are buying from them. With only a day left for the
festival
of lights, the vendors urge people to make a trip to the market to buy from them.
Sagar Kumar Gupta, a 24-year-old
rangoli seller from the market, shares, “People are coming to the market but they are not buying from us. I request people to come and shop from us. We also wish to celebrate the festival with our family members, please come and shop from us.”

Ram Niwas, another seller, who sells Diwali décor items in the market, shares, “
Pehle jahan log Rs 100
ka samaan leke jaate the,
woh ab Rs 20
ka leke ja rahe hain. Khaali khade hain, log kuch lena hi nahi chahte.”
Vendors are urging people to come shop for Diwali from their stalls
It is not just Ram Niwas and Sagar Kumar Gupta, who are facing the crisis, but almost all local vendors are struggling and urging people to shop from them ahead of the festival.
