India is a colorful and vibrant country that celebrates many festivals throughout the year. But of those, the festival of lights, or Diwali, is one of the biggest festivals celebrated by more than a billion people in India to commemorate the new year. The stories and legends of Diwali may differ in region and culture, but the thought of observing new beginnings remains the same across the country.
Sweeping the entire house, lining up the diyas outside the door, and preparing the boxes of sweets to carry to friends and family signifies that Diwali has finally begun. Mesmerizing lighting, colorful diyas and rangoli, sparkling firecrackers, and delicious sweets are what one imagines when one hears the word “Diwali”.
Indian sweets have a vast range, accommodating sweets from different states of the country. “Kuch meetha ho jaaye” or “muh meetha kijiye” is often heard in every Indian household, especially during the festive seasons. A part of Indian life is associated with having sweet delicacies. When the season is as huge as Diwali, there is no way it can pass without having sweets. In fact, in India, the preparation of sweets starts a week to ten days before the festival. Sweets are a trademark of celebration, joy, and happiness. The give and take of sweets bring people closer.
