[@rajthedev]

I love diwali. I wish I could go to India though. I live in Florida.

[@GuruDatta369]

🔥 Happy Diwali!

[@palees7132]

Great video National Geography channel. The country has gone through a constant looting and desolation of identity, it think it would be nice the starting of this video represents one of the many UNESCO recognised Hindu temples. We are 100% proud of the iconic Taj Mahal, but this is not the best identity to represent a Hindu festival. Humble request

[@ricardo_herbig]

Quanta CÔR...❤❤❤

[@braxwhitney]

30 years old and just now learning about this festival. What a shame!

[@gildacurada3553]

[@Asegh]

Have you ever cleaned your house or done dishes? Have you done anything that was Philanthropic to make something else beautiful for the love of God and your family? Then you also have made a mandala.

[@yashshaligram6878]

All Indian festivals are meant to enhance the social health of the society

[@manbeh4u]

Is it not south Indian city with a beautiful gopuram that you have shown and later called it Delhi 😊

[@marialobodumasia6460]

I'm Maria a licensed guide.
Diwali is post monsoon. Oct-Nov. Come to Mumbai to see the fireworks. 😂

[@fakemadereal]

So when you have a fever, you can see all of this from your window.

[@rishiknight]

Diwali is soo much fun! :)

[@iworkforme]

By your logic then, none should comment on hateful comments or you deem them unfit to be on the internet? just checking.

[@oknatora]

I've been camping and I've done a lot worse things than you probably have. However, accidents happen. Sure I swallow water and stuff, but I don't try to purposely do it.

[@Magoonski]

Some things can be absorbed through the skin but I've never heard of someone getting sick or infected from merely touching the ground. When I was a little kid I ate mud, sand, etc. and I NEVER got sick (actually most kids go through a pica phase) even with the cat using the sand box as a litter box. So merely touching the ground? Not gross. Call your parents, I bet you ate weird/gross stuff as a kid too.

[@donnettecampbell3041]

Who's watching in 2020

[@hoeksteen69]

When is this Festival of Lights ??

[@TheVanab]

It's on tuesday 11/13/12

[@saraswatishaktimayi]

I am not sure they would say "happy Diwali" to each other in English though ;-D

[@TheGoldenDogOfficial]

EVERYONE THE DAY IS COMING. WE WILL CELEBRATE 12 NOV

[@cowfunk]

omg these comments are appalling. you would think a natgeo subscriber would be a little more educated, or at least interested in educating themselves.

[@tdzheng]

as a chinese in malaysia, deepavali is an amazing sight!

[@vikramganasen]

Southern Indians pronounces it as "Deepavali". Different languages!

[@hewsman1]

In singapore..diwali is dipavali?

[@Magoonski]

So are you saying that your problem isn't with them touching the ground, it's that they are doing it on purpose?

[@pretid.r.7593]

this year it is the 13th of November, ie tomorow.

[@bostongirlsandy]

The 13th of November is my birthday.

[@ViannaFabian]

I had to do a test about this and I was so confused 😂😂😂😂😊

[@chuckiebaby2000]

Gorgeous. I want to meet the man of my dreams one day and get married during this celebration..

[@brownbear696969]

This aint 'Muuurica, this is India

[@oknatora]

For the most part. I know everyone touches random stuff regardless. Just something I wouldn't do.

[@Biggyearold]

Hi guys

[@Magoonski]

Huh? It's just the ground, you can always wash your face. Besides we breathe in dust all the time.

[@Tlebeau421]

So much racism in these comments. This is no longer pre 1970...evolve already!

[@Biggyearold]

Hi pats 1

[@YoMommaSmellLikeHotDogWater]

Okay, calm down.

[@Magoonski]

You've never been camping have you? Or attempted to water ski and drink half the lake. Germs are everywhere, viruses are everywhere but the majority are completely harmless and therefore touching the ground is not a big deal, nor is it gross. You want gross, try cleaning up after incontinent old people with diarrhea who got it all over the bed and floor. This has happened to me twice with two different patients. Now that's gross.

[@lauripolvi9256]

I don't see racism.

[@NinoAndCrewEnt]

As a Canadian in Brampton.. Diwali is everyday.. Indians everywhere having daily meetings in the parks n shit.. Stinking up the neighbourhood lol

[@RetroBoblox]

Helo

[@MarioDragon]

Read his name, if you can't recognize a troll then you don't belong on the internet.

[@agahajak]

I love setting off bombs on diwali

[@Magoonski]

[@yathishnaik]

Mind your language guys...

[@niamtxiv]

I wonder the same. So many idiots commenting on NatGeo.

[@whalexside8307]

Fermez vos bouches

[@oknatora]

So gross how they touch the ground like that.

[@iworkforme]

why do you spread hatred?

[@sa99miy]

shameful display

[@ayaanjamaal2467]
