This is Diwali

This is the Diwali we grew up with.

The one where grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins gathered under the same roof.

The one where the afternoon was spent decorating your grandparents’ home with fragrant marigolds, colourful rangoli and rows of mud diyas, while your grandmother perfected a batch of Diwali delicacies that would be consumed through the week. The one where everyone dressed to the nines, jewels sparkling, and took family photos while music played on your grandfather’s old (but gold) sound system.
The one that brings back memories that makes you smile.

This is Diwali.
And this is our whimsical take on it, complete with a nostalgic playlist!

Elements of Diwali

Diyas, rangoli, mithai. We know the traditions. But do we know the stories behind them? Hemal explains.

The Sweet Map of India

It looks like a celebration of mithai. But there’s more to it. Tanvi takes us through the idea behind the map.

The India Collective

Nine regions. Nine artforms. One story. Tanvi takes us through the idea that brings them together.
