Cracker decoder
Anar? Chakkar? Ladi? Here's what every type of cracker actually does, in plain words — filter by quiet, kids-safe or apartment-friendly, and see it burst on screen.
What are the different types of crackers?
The main families are: sparklers (hand-held, gentle), flower pots and fountains (the anar — colour rising from the ground), ground chakkars (spinning wheels of sparks), rockets and sky shots (aerials that burst in the sky), garlands (ladi — a rapid run of pops), sound crackers (the loud bangs), and kids' novelties (pop-pops, snakes). Green crackers are certified versions with less smoke and noise.
You don't need to memorise any of this — search or filter above to find what suits you, watch each type burst in our free playground, or skip straight to a ready-made combo that mixes them for you.
