Diwali Decoration: Diyas, Idols, Festive Lights

Preparation for Diwali have already begun with people decking up their houses with festive lights and religious idols in their homes as well as shops. The five day festival of Diwali is marked by people renovating and refurbishing their living spaces to welcome the advent of Goddess Laxmi. As a tradition, spaces are lit up with shimmering lights using string lights, candles, oil lamps, DIY crafts, and entrances are decked up with rangoli or alpana made of colors or flowers.
