Diwali is a time for family gatherings, prayers, and festivities. Homes are cleaned and adorned with rangoli designs and lights, while people wear new clothes and perform pujas to seek blessings from deities like Goddess Lakshmi. Fireworks light up the night sky, and the exchange of sweets and gifts strengthens bonds among family and friends. Markets are bustling with activity as people shop for decorations, clothes, and festive treats.
