AERIAL SHOT
Product Deep Dive

Shells of light that paint the night sky — the crown jewel of Sivakasi's craft.

◆A 36-shot aerial box fires all its shells in approximately 45 seconds — that's one shell every 1.25 seconds.
◆The burst altitude of a standard Sivakasi aerial shot is 30–80 metres — roughly the height of a 20-storey building.
◆Sivakasi produces over 50 million multi-shot aerial boxes every year for the Diwali season.

The Complete Guide

History, chemistry, raw materials, and safety — everything you need to know.

Origin

Aerial fireworks originated in Song Dynasty China (960–1279 AD), where pyrotechnicians packed gunpowder into bamboo tubes and launched them skyward. The first multi-break aerial shells appeared in Italy during the Renaissance, when Florentine craftsmen developed the "peony" and "chrysanthemum" burst patterns that remain popular today.

India & Sivakasi

Sivakasi began producing aerial shots in the 1980s, initially as simple single-colour star shells. The introduction of Japanese and Chinese pyrotechnic techniques in the 1990s transformed Sivakasi's aerial shot industry. Today, Sivakasi produces over 200 varieties of aerial shots, from compact 16-shot boxes to spectacular 100-shot professional displays.

Modern Era

Modern Sivakasi aerial shots use CSIR-NEERI approved formulations that reduce heavy metal content. The latest generation of "green aerial shots" uses potassium nitrate-based compositions instead of perchlorate, reducing ground-level particulate matter by up to 35%.

How It's Made in Sivakasi

Step-by-step manufacturing process — from raw materials to finished product

🗞️1

Tube making

Kraft paper is wound on mandrels to form the mortar tubes. Each tube is wound to precise wall thickness specifications to withstand the lift charge pressure.

⭐2

Star making

Pyrotechnic star pellets are made by rolling chemical compositions into small spheres or cylinders. Each star is primed with a fast-burning composition to ensure reliable ignition.

🔧3

Shell assembly

Stars are arranged inside the shell casing in the desired burst pattern. The burst charge is packed around the stars, and the time-delay fuse is inserted.

💥4

Lift charge loading

PESO-licensed propellant lift charge is loaded into the base of the mortar tube. The shell is placed on top of the lift charge and secured. Quantities are strictly controlled per PESO licence conditions.

📦5

Box assembly

Individual mortar tubes are assembled into the multi-shot box frame. Fuses are connected in sequence to ensure the correct firing order.

✅6

Testing & certification

Sample boxes from each batch are test-fired in an open field. Burst height, colour, and effect are recorded. Batches must meet PESO specifications before dispatch.

🏛️

PESO oversight: Every manufacturing step is conducted under the supervision of the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO). Factory layouts, storage quantities, and worker safety protocols are mandated by the Explosives Rules 2008 and inspected annually.
