Diwali is close in time and everybody is in a festive mood. Forethoughts as to how to celebrate Diwali, what to wear on the occasion and what to cook for the family, must be crossing your mind.
Diwali is a five-day-long celebration and there are scores of rituals that are to be performed typically during these days and each of them holds a great significance. Meanwhile, people also pay a visit to their relatives and feast on the array of sweets and other sundry savoury snacks on offer.
