The flower pots crackers, known across India as anar, are the graceful heart of any Diwali night, sending a steady fountain of golden and coloured sparks into the air. Because they stay on the ground and burn upward, flower pots are among the safest showpiece crackers for families. This Vedizone guide explains every variety, the effects and heights you can expect, and how to place them safely.
What are flower pots (anar) crackers?
A flower pot is a clay or cardboard cone packed with a slow-burning composition that erupts into a fountain of sparks when lit. The name comes from the flower-like spray it produces. They differ from ground chakkars, which spin, and from aerial shots, which shoot high into the sky. Flower pots simply sit still and bloom, which is exactly why they suit courtyards, terraces and gardens.
Types of flower pots and their effects
Flower pots are graded mainly by size and composition. Here is what each tier delivers:
| Type | Fountain height | Duration | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small flower pot | 1–2 feet | 20–30 seconds | Gentle gold spray, great for kids |
| Deluxe flower pot | 3–5 feet | 40–60 seconds | Fuller, brighter fountain |
| Colour koti | 3–6 feet | 45–70 seconds | Changing red, green and blue sparks |
| Special / giant flower pot | 6–10 feet | 60–90 seconds | Tall, dense showpiece fountain |
How to choose the right flower pot
- Small flower pots are the best entry point for children and small balconies.
- Deluxe flower pots give the classic Diwali fountain most families remember.
- Colour koti add drama with shifting colours and are a crowd favourite.
- Special or giant pots work as a mid-show centrepiece before your finale.

Ground safety and correct placement
Flower pots are safe when placed properly, and most accidents come from an unstable base. Always set a flower pot on flat, hard, open ground, never on grass, sand or a wobbly surface where it could tip over mid-burn. Keep it well away from walls, curtains, parked vehicles and other crackers. Light the fuse tip with an incense stick or a long lighter, step back at least 3–4 metres immediately, and never bend over a pot to relight a dud. Let duds sit for a few minutes, then soak them in water.
