A celebration with rich history and significance behind it, Deepavali (or Diwali), signifies the triumph of good over evil, and light over darkness. Also coined as The Festival of Lights, this day is celebrated in varying ways across different regions of India. Interestingly, while the North Indians take this time to welcome the new year, South Indians celebrate the end of evil and the start of good. However, one thing both regions have in common when it comes to celebrating Deepavali is the food!
