Sutli bomb

Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience

The Sutli bomb is a very loud firecracker popular in India, especially during the festival of Diwali. People love to use it during celebrations because of the exciting noise it makes.

This firecracker is also called the Atom Bomb or Hydro-bomb because of how loud it is. Its noise can go beyond the safe limit of 145 decibels, which is very loud and can be quite startling.

Even though it is enjoyed by many during festivals, its extreme noise level makes it important for people to use it carefully and be aware of safety rules.

Firecrackers like the Sutli bomb are a big part of festival traditions in India, but it's always important to remember safety when enjoying them.

About

The Sutli bomb is a special kind of firework made from green jute twine with a red band showing the maker’s name. The twine wraps around an explosive part, creating a very loud sound. This happens because the firework has tightly packed gunpowder inside. When the gunpowder gets hot, it makes lots of gases, and the noise occurs when the pressure from these gases bursts through the tight wrapping.

Banned

Many governments have banned this firecracker because it makes a very loud noise. The noise is almost twice as loud as what is allowed, which is why it is not permitted during celebrations.
