Diwali office decoration is a different job from decorating a home. A house gets diyas lit at dusk and a rangoli by the door; an office has to look festive from 9 to 6, survive dozens of people brushing past a reception desk every day, pass a fire-safety walk-through, and come down cleanly without leaving wax on the marble or a fire-hazard note in the facilities log. We make the brass, marble and iron pieces that go into these setups, so this guide comes from that side of the order — what holds up in a reception area, what to ask before open flame near a fire exit, and what a realistic budget looks like from a 20-person office to a 200-person campus.
This is a decor guide, not a gifting one — for what to hand employees or clients this Diwali, see our Diwali gifts for employees guide or the corporate Diwali gift packages page. Here we’re styling the physical space — reception, desks, meeting rooms and the entrance lobby — with pieces installed once by facilities and reused every year rather than thrown away in November.
Diwali 2026 falls on Sunday, 8 November, which for most offices means the workspace gets dressed the last full week of October, since the festival itself lands on a weekend. That’s roughly three weeks from mid-October to plan, order and install.
What actually matters when you’re decorating a shared workspace
We ship a lot of these same pieces into homes and into offices, and the brief changes more than people expect. Four things we tell every facilities buyer before they order:
- Open flame is a fire-exit conversation, not a decor one. A brass akhand jyot or tealight diya looks wonderful at reception, but near curtains, a fire exit, or a smoke detector, most building fire officers will flag it. LED tealights inside the same holders solve this at no extra cost — just ask us to swap the insert.
- Foot traffic decides material, not aesthetics. Reception pieces get bumped and dusted daily. Solid brass and marble-dust resin on a stable base survive this; anything with thin protruding parts doesn’t. We steer offices toward squat, weighted pieces for high-traffic spots and save delicate wall pieces for above eye level.
- One invoice, one delivery window beats twelve small orders. A single facilities order — reception, five meeting rooms, sixty desks — priced and dispatched together is easier for finance to reconcile and for us to pack as one consignment with a GST invoice.
- Reusable beats disposable. Paper rangoli stencils and printed banners get thrown out every year. A brass diya or an iron wall piece goes back into storage and comes out again for Diwali 2027 — the per-year cost drops each time you reuse it.
Reception and entrance: the first thing clients see
Rajasthani Camel Showpiece with Handler, 20 inch — Rs.2,499
Solid iron on a wide base, 20 inches long — this is one of the few pieces sturdy enough to sit unguarded on an open reception counter without a stand or a “please don’t touch” note. Genuinely conversation-starting for visitors, and it isn’t specific to Diwali, so it earns its shelf space through November and beyond.
Elegant White Jumbo Elephant Statue, Trunk Up (8×10.5 inch) — Rs.2,999
A single large trunk-up elephant reads as a considered entrance statement rather than clutter. Marble-dust resin, weighted base — stable enough for an entrance table that gets dusted and occasionally bumped by a trolley.
Rajasthani Trumpet Horn Metal Wall Decor with LEDs (37×17 in) — Rs.3,999
Large-format wall pieces solve the “blank lobby wall” problem without needing a banner that gets thrown out in November. The built-in warm LEDs run off a standard adapter — no open flame, no fire-officer conversation, and it looks lit even after office hours if you leave it plugged in.
Ganesha Diya Tealight Candle Holder, Wall-Mountable — Rs.1,199
Wall-mounted next to the entrance door, holding an LED tealight rather than an open flame, this reads as festive without adding anything on the floor for people to trip over — the single most common entrance-decor complaint we hear back from office admins.
Meeting rooms and shared tables
Elephant Family Showpiece, Set of 5 (Om Symbol) — Rs.3,999
A five-piece graduated set fills the centre of a boardroom table without a vase of flowers that wilts by Thursday. Comes as one set, so it’s one line item on the purchase order rather than five.
White Marble Lotus Urli with Diya, 9 inch — Rs.1,599
Filled with water and floating marigolds on the morning of a client visit, this is the piece we recommend most for a reception counter or meeting-room table when you want something that looks freshly done rather than left up since mid-October — housekeeping refills the water and flowers, no re-decoration needed.
Blue & Gold Elephant Pair Showpiece, 8 inch (Set of 2) — Rs.3,999
A matched pair flanking a meeting-room entrance or a reception counter’s two ends reads as intentional in a way a single odd piece doesn’t. Also available in a grey & gold colourway if it suits your brand palette better.
Individual desks and workstations
Blue & Gold Mini Elephant Pair, 3 inch (Set of 2) — Rs.999
Small enough to sit beside a monitor without eating desk space, and at this price it’s the one item on this list realistic to give every desk in a 100-plus-seat floor rather than reserving decor for shared areas only.
Set of 2 Brass Duck Figurines (Desk Paperweight) — Rs.799
Solid brass, heavy enough to double as an actual paperweight the other eleven months of the year — this is the pick that survives past Diwali because it has a job beyond decoration.
Lion Brass Set of 2 Figurine Showpieces — Rs.1,999
A step up for a manager’s or director’s desk specifically — solid brass lions are a recognisable Vaastu piece that reads as senior without being ostentatious.
Elephant Tealight Candle Holder, Iron Tabletop, 5 Slots — Rs.1,199
Five tealight slots on one iron base means one item does the work of five loose diyas on a shared reception or pantry counter, with far less risk of one getting knocked over.
Budgets, quantities and the order timeline
Real numbers from orders we’ve packed for offices, not aspirational ones:
- Small office (up to 30 seats): one reception centrepiece (Rs.2,000–3,000), one entrance piece (Rs.2,000–4,000), a meeting-room urli or set (Rs.1,600–4,000), and desk pieces for 10–15 key desks (Rs.800–1,000 each). Total: roughly Rs.16,000–25,000.
- Mid-size office (100–150 seats, 3–5 meeting rooms): 2–3 reception/entrance statement pieces, one centrepiece per meeting room, and desk pieces for team leads and above (20–40 desks). Total: roughly Rs.60,000–1,10,000.
- Corporate campus (300+ seats, multiple floors): decor per floor lobby plus a full desk rollout for one or two flagship floors. At this scale we quote per floor plan — send us the floor and seat count for an itemised number.
Dispatch is 10–14 working days from order confirmation, which is why the safe order-by date is mid-October for 8 November — that leaves a buffer for a delayed PO or a re-pick if something goes out of stock. Orders confirmed in the last week of October are still workable but move to ready stock rather than a fully curated mix. MOQ is 25 units for a branded design, 5 per design for plain pieces — most office orders clear both thresholds just by mixing reception, meeting-room and desk pieces.
Packing and delivery: everything ships in our fragile-safe packing — double-boxed with internal padding for marble and resin, corner protection for wall-mounted metal work. For a multi-location company we can split one order into separate consignments under a single GST invoice rather than three separate POs. If a piece arrives damaged, it’s replaced — standard on every corporate order.
Frequently asked questions
Can we use real oil diyas at reception, or should we use LED?
That depends on your building’s fire code and how close the piece sits to a fire exit or flammable material. Most offices use LED tealight inserts in the same diya holders for open counters and walls, and reserve real flame for a supervised pooja corner. Confirm with your facilities officer first — we can supply either insert in the same holder.
Do you provide a GST invoice for office decor orders?
Yes, every order ships with a GST invoice for your procurement paperwork.
Can these pieces be reused every year, or are they Diwali-only?
Everything here works as year-round office decor — nothing is printed “Diwali” or dated. Most offices keep the elephant pairs and brass pieces out permanently and just add LED diyas for the festive weeks.
What’s the minimum order for a facilities/office decor order?
25 units per design for logo branding, 5 per design for plain pieces — well below what a typical office order needs once reception, meeting rooms and desks are combined.
Can you deliver to multiple office locations under one order?
Yes. Tell us the floor or branch split when you request a quote and we’ll dispatch separate consignments under one consolidated GST invoice.
What happens if we order too late for 8 November?
Orders after mid-October can usually still ship from ready stock, but the curated mix narrows to what’s on hand. Tell us upfront if your date is tight — we’ll quote only confirmed-in-stock pieces.
