Bravo!
β¨ Wishing you a sparkling Diwali filled with laughter, fun, and the brightest of moments. β¨
Diwali marks the triumph of light over darkness, of good over evil and more than a billion Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world are celebrating.
Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India and widely celebrated in Nepal, Malaysia, Fiji and other countries. Homes, businesses and public spaces are lit up with diyas, or oil lamps made from clay, and fireworks displays abound. People gather with their families, eat sweets and exchange gifts.
Despite its deep religious significance, Diwali today is also a cultural festival observed by people regardless of faith. Happy Diwali!
