“It’s party time in India. Millions are celebrating the festival of Diwali as dazzling and colourful lights lit up homes and streets. The Hindu festival symbolises the victory of light over darkness and is also a national holiday across India. Diwali is typically celebrated by socialising and exchanging gifts with family and friends. Homes are cleaned, new clothes are worn and prayers are said. Many homes light earthen oil lamps or candles, and fireworks are set off as part of the celebrations.”
