Diwali, is one of the most celebrated festivals of India. It signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.

In India, we celebrate Diwali for 5 days. First day starts with Dhanteras followed by Choti Diwali, Laxmi Puja, Rama Shyama (New Year) and Bhai Dooj. On the 4th day of Diwali, which is the beginning of new year, people usually go to each others place to wish them a great start to the year. That day a lot of snacks and sweets are prepared in advance to serve the guests. Along with the house, the tea table is decorated with snacks, sweets and dry fruits for the guests along with the preferred beverages. All the snacks and sweets are prepared in advance, heated and served, so that everyone gets time to spend with each other.
