Kuruvi

• A small fancy firecracker named “Kuruvi” (sparrow) because it flies randomly with sparks like a bird.
  It is a whistling / flying cracker that spins on the ground first, then suddenly zooms up with sound.

• Effect:

  • When lit, it sizzles and spins on the ground.

  • After a few seconds, it shoots up into the air with a whistling sound.

  • Produces small colourful sparks while flying.

  • Moves unpredictably, like a small bird (hence the name Kuruvi).

• Duration:
  Each cracker lasts 5–8 seconds.

• Packaging:
  Usually sold in small boxes (10–20 pcs per box).

• Variants:

  • Normal Kuruvi – whistling flight with sparks.

  • Colour Kuruvi – emits coloured sparks.

  • Crackling Kuruvi – adds small crackling pops while flying.

• Very popular among children and families during Diwali celebrations, because it is fun, noisy, and unpredictable but not as loud as bombs.

✅ Safety (short)

• Use only in open outdoor space.

• Keep 2–3 metres distance (it moves unpredictably).

• Do not bend over while lighting.

• Place on flat ground before lighting.

• Children should use only under adult supervision.

✨ In short:
Kuruvi cracker = a small flying firecracker that spins, whistles, and shoots up like a little bird with sparks — fun, noisy, and a Diwali favourite.
