Diwali is the unifying, biggest and the brightest of all Indian festivals. It is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world. Diwali is the Festival of Lights. It is celebrated by lighting earthen diyas or lamps. This festival symbolizes knowledge, wisdom, and victory of light over dark. It is a time to reflect upon overcoming one’s fears and embrace the light within us. It is also a time for exchanging gifts, showering your love and regards to friends, family and relatives.  Happy Diwali!
