Diwali, November 12th, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is a vibrant and culturally rich celebration that extends for around five official days but often lasts even longer. During this festival, people engage in a multitude of traditions, including the exchange of gifts, the lighting of butter and oil lanterns, and the spectacular display of fireworks. However, the festival’s exuberance extends beyond its designated duration, with fireworks illuminating the skies throughout this festive season.
Diwali is a time when many Indians choose to take their holidays, either during the festival itself or immediately after. As a result, cities across India can become bustling hubs of internal tourism, drawing visitors from various regions to partake in the festivities. The atmosphere during Diwali is nothing short of magical, with streets adorned in colorful decorations, traditional music filling the air, and a sense of joy and togetherness that is truly infectious.
