Diwali is a vibrant cultural festival celebrated annually in the fall, known for lighting up homes and public spaces with diyas (small clay oil lamps), fireworks, and beautiful decorations. Families clean and decorate their homes, create colorful rangoli designs from sand or powder, wear new clothes, share sweets, and exchange gifts over five joyful days of celebration.
Enjoy a taste of traditional Indian sweets, create your own rangoli, and decorate a diya to take home.
