✨ Celebrating Diwali – The Festival of Lights ✨ Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of India’s most loved and celebrated traditions. It’s a five-day festival that symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and hope over despair. Each day carries its own meaning — from cleansing and preparation to celebration, gratitude, and renewal. Yesterday marked Day 1, when I performed a small puja (prayer) to welcome positivity and prosperity into my home. Even though I’m miles away from India, lighting those diyas (lamps) and saying a quiet prayer made me feel close to home — reminding me that festivals are not just about rituals, but about carrying light within us wherever we are. 🪔 Sharing a few glimpses from yesterday’s small celebration — a little corner of warmth, gratitude, and connection. ✨
