I went to a Diwali party and it was so beautiful and I had fun and the people I met explained more of this holiday. I was happily to be apart of the celebration

[@oppertunist-trader]

They try to make Indians happy without mentioning the name " INDIA". 😂 How wonderful.

[@ravidas4852]

Not just festival of lights, we celebrate Dipawali as our King Lord Ram returned ayodhya after 13 years and in celebration we light 🪔,light denotes triumph of good over evil, light over dark, our conscience over ego, family over money let these dipawali bring peace health and prosperity to all

Divali is a national holiday in Trinidad and Guyana. Everyone celebrates. 🎉

Hindu festival becomes 'South Asian' festival.

[@piyushporwal1307]

Diwali is not south asian festival rather it is festival of hindus

[@bdeshpan]

Calling Diwali a “South Asian” festival is like calling Hanukkah a Middle Eastern festival. Diwali is a Hindu Jain Sikh festival.

[@daleksummers3155]

The U.S. could learn a lot from India. We need more of this in our country.

[@samip3124]

Shubh Dipawali ✨🎉

[@ashanegi1231]
