Diwali, the festival of lights, is approaching, and we are all ready! Diwali is one of the most important festivals celebrated across India with much pomp and zeal. The Diwali festival signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. It is overall a festival of lights and love that unites family and friends together.
In India, any festival means delectable dish preparations. And when it comes to one of the most widely celebrated festivals nationwide, the thrill is just heightened! Days before the commencement of Diwali, families start with their making of sweet and savoury dishes with great enthusiasm and commitment. Hence, Diwali is as much a festival of flavours as it is of lights!
