Diwali 2023: Deepavali, the festival of lights, is around the corner. Each one of us eagerly waits for the Festival of Lights, Diwali which is celebrated on November 12 this year. 

Though it originated with the idea of lightening every dark nook and corner, Diwali became a Festival of crackers with the passage of time, owing to the heights of excitement offered by the bursting sounds of crackers. 


The auspicious festival of lights marks Lord Ram's return to Ayodhya after a 14-year exile. Diwali 2023 brings the grace of Maa Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity. 

People around the country celebrate the occasion in special ways, particularly by drawing rangolis, hosting Diwali parties at home, and cooking delectable foods and sweets. However, the festival's ongoing popularity has been harmed by pollution concerns as a large number of people burst crackers.
