BengalFlair Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 “Hajari” or “Hajara” is a special type of torch and quite popular in some parts of India. It can be lighted by holding in hand but you must have to stay on upper level than the spark forming surface. Made some on Diwali and you can see it in the following video which was the last firework.
patsroom Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 That was interesting and I like them. If you know how to make them please share. Thank you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Pat
psyco_1322 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Looks like a fountain made out of thermite.
BengalFlair Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 Looks like a fountain made out of thermite. It wasn't a thermite composition! It was actually some modified nitrate strobe like composition with a lot of large cast iron borings or turnings.
sora Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Very nice Ben as usual. Did you use Titanium flakes for the fountain? I use the follwing composition for the 'Hajari rong-moshal' (which literally means a torch that produces a thousand sparks). I also pour some water on the concrete floor to make it wet and help in spreading the stars. ++++++++++++++++++ Barium Nitrate: 6 Iron Turnings: 6 Saltpeter: 1 Magnalium: 2.5 Sulfur: 1 ++++++++++++++++++ Maybe Ben can provide a better formula.

So many times I have used it after one year( residues of last yr kalipuja)
