Vivid rangoli designs embellishing doorsteps, and the fragrance of natively constructed desserts floating through the air – Diwali is a tactile encounter that makes a permanent imprint on the hearts of the people who participate in its celebrations.
The act of getting everyone together as a family to decorate the house, give each other gifts, and eat delicious food makes a lasting memory. It is during Diwali that grandparents pass down age-old practices to wide-looked at grandkids, and guardians share stories from their own life as a youngster, making a feeling of congruity that rises above time.
