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.
