Sivakasi creates new varieties of fireworks for Diwali .
The Firecracker units in Sivakasi town, the hub of fireworks industry in India have created different variants of dazzling fireworks for the forthcoming festival ‘Diwali’.“This year they have introduced new firecrackers for youngsters and elders.
One of the new firecracker is ‘Blinkers’ that when lit goes up towards the sky and puts up multi-hued light display. They have over 500 varieties of crackers available. Their first priority is safety and after that quality,” said GP Sampath, a firecracker maker. Firecrackers have traditionally been an important part of “Diwali”. Millions of rupees worth crackers are burnt on that day across the country.
As to make most of the festival demand, firecracker units have come up with different type of firecrackers.“This year we have come up with 24 varieties of firecrackers for children as well as elders like ‘Colour 10′ that displays colour after bursting and ‘Money Spinner’ that spins like a wheel and flashes 24 times,” said Anand Kumar, a firecracker unit owner.
Sivakasi is the capital of India’s firecracker industry with about 8,000 factories, big and small, producing 90 percent of the total fireworks output. An estimated 200,000 people are employed in this unregulated cottage industry, which has an annual turnover of about 100 million dollars.

The opening ceremony of the 9th China Liuyang International Fireworks Festival was held May 22, 2009. The opening ceremony kicks off the three day fireworks event. The schedule includes the opening show on the 22nd, followed by the Pyro-Musical competition on the 23nd, and ending with new product demonstrations on the 24th.

The opening ceremony is a lavish event that features a full line-up of famous Chinese and HK pop stars performing live on stage. The tickets sell for up to 1680 rmb ($250 USD), but still the event sells out to a huge crowd of mostly mainland Chinese who are either just lovers of fireworks and pop, or are in the fireworks business in some part of China.

This year, with warnings of US visitors possibly being quarantined for one week, the foreign visitors mostly chose to stay at home. The May date also makes it difficult for US operators to attend as their busy season is just getting started.

Dominator Fireworks has uploaded videos of the fireworks portions of the opening ceremony. All effects seen in the video are avaliable for purchase from Dominator Fireworks.

As always, the show was big and spectacular. Please enjoy the show!
