What Diwali feels like when you’re far from home?

Diwali, the five-day ‘festival of lights’, is around the corner. Diwali, also called Deepavali, is one of the biggest festivals in India. Soon, homes, businesses, and public places will be lit up with lamps, lights, and floral decor. Dressed in extravagant ethnic attire, people will gather to celebrate the festival, which signifies the triumph of good over evil. The festival is defined by its warmth – lighting diyas and lanterns, exchanging gifts, enjoying delectable feasts, lip-smacking sweets, and crunchy savory snacks.
