WATCH: Diwali 2024 Festivities and Traditions From Around India

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated with grandeur by Indians worldwide, symbolising the triumph of light over evil. Prime Minister Modi extended warm wishes to the citizens. In Ayodhya, festivities reached new heights as 1,125 participants set two world records by offering a special prayer and lighting nearly three million lamps. Across India, people celebrated in diverse ways—bursting crackers in Chennai, decorating Kolkata's streets with lights and flowers, and holding traditional ceremonies in temples. Soldiers in Jammu & Kashmir enjoyed Diwali together, while children in Bhubaneswar marked a "Green Diwali" with eco-friendly earthen lamps.
