From festive shopping to home makeovers: India gears up for Diwali
Diwali, the festival of lights, is India’s biggest and most significant event of the year. Celebrated with a lot of gusto and gifts, the five-day Diwali festival heralds prosperity and happiness. It’s common practice for people to buy gold and silver, furniture and utensils for their home, and paint and decorate them.
