Diwali

Diwali is the "Festival of Lights." It is the most important holiday of the year for a Hindu household. Diwali is a five-day event, celebrated by cooking and sharing lots of sweet treats and snacks with friends and family. The day after Diwali is the Gujarati new year. On new years you go around and visit friends and family and reconnect with the people who matter in your life. You always share something sweet with them.
