When you think of fireworks in India, Sivakasi is the first name that comes to mind.
This small town in Tamil Nadu is famously known as the Fireworks Capital of India, producing over 90% of India’s crackers. But how did Sivakasi become so famous for fireworks? Let’s look at the inspiring history behind Sivakasi crackers — and why they continue to brighten up every festival season
How Sivakasi Became India’s Fireworks Hub
The story goes back to 1923, when two visionary brothers — Shri Ayya Nadar and Shri Shanmuga Nadar — returned from Calcutta after learning about matchbox manufacturing. They started a small matchstick factory in Sivakasi.
Thanks to Sivakasi’s dry climate, the town was perfect for making fireworks safely. Over the decades, hundreds of small and large fireworks factories came up, giving thousands of families steady income and turning Sivakasi into India’s top fireworks hub
