Every year, over a billion people globally celebrate Diwali. Each region and religion celebrates it differently and for various reasons with distinct customs and traditions. For some, it's a new year, a new beginning. Others see it as the triumph of light over darkness, of good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali, for the most part, is a celebration that culminates in delicious food, spending time with loved ones, and introspection.
