India,
being a culturally diverse and fervent society, celebrates various festivals.
One among them is Diwali. Diwali is a five day festival which is known as the ‘Festival
of Lights’ for fireworks, small clay lamps, and candles are lit during the
celebrations. These lights are said to represent victory of good over evil, and
brightness over darkness. The candlelight makes Diwali a very warm and
