A jhalar (pronounced 'jhaalar') (Hindi:झालर; Punjabi:ਝਾਲਰ) is a long thin strip of colorful fabric used for decoration, mostly in India.[1] On festivals such as Diwali and New Year and special occasions such as birthdays or anniversaries, jhalars are used as the main decorating material.[2]
Description
[edit]Jhalars come in a variety of colors and shapes, although the main shape is similar to a ribbon. Until some years ago, they were created with paper, but now plastic jhalars are becoming more popular. Plastic jhalars are long-lasting and give a shiny effect due to the material used in their construction.
Uses
[edit]Jhalars can be used in a number of ways:
- hanging them on walls in a curvy pattern
- using them to decorate the ceiling
- hanging on bottom of ceiling fans or other objects
