We’d love to hear from people in India and around the world about how they are celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights.
What do you do to mark the occasion? How has Diwali changed for you over the years, especially if you are celebrating away from home or keeping traditions alive in a new country?
Share your and your family’s special Diwali stories on what the festival means to you, and what you are hoping for this Diwali? You can share your response – along with any pictures of your Diwali celebrations – below.
