Diwali is a significant festival celebrated throughout India, and it’s my favorite time of the year. It signifies the victory of light over darkness (hence called the festival of lights), good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. During Diwali, people illuminate their homes with diyas, prepare delicious food, and enjoy fireworks.
Food is a central part of the celebration during Diwali, with people preparing and exchanging a variety of savory snacks, sweets, and desserts and hosting gatherings with elaborate spreads to connect with family and friends.
