Diwali is the biggest festival of India that marks the victory of good over evil. Diwali is all about spreading happiness and light into the lives of other people. But it seems that this year Diwali celebrations wouldn’t be usual. It is no surprise that pandemic has changed the way we celebrate festivals and special occasions. With social distancing restrictions, you may not be able to celebrate Diwali traditionally. But you shouldn’t let the pandemic take your festive spirit away.
This year, celebrate Deepawali Apni Si. Whether you are near or far away from your loved ones, celebrate your kind of Diwali. While everyone will have their own way of celebrating Diwali, the purpose is to have fun and do things that make you happy.
