Dear Readers,
Diwali is a major occasion all over India, with people of all faiths and from all walks of life partaking in the festivities with equal enthusiasm. It’s one of those moments when you realise what makes us such a special country, because days like Diwali let us look past our differences and cherish what we have in common – a love for celebration! This week, we bring you our Diwali issue, with a very special focus on how the city celebrates the festival of lights during the pandemic.
Check out the Feature Story, where we’ve been invited to special homes across Hyderabad, to see and learn how they celebrate this momentous holiday. From decorating the interiors with flowers to elaborate pujas, the depth and breadth of Diwali celebrations are “virtually” limitless. We hope you enjoy reading the feature as much as we enjoyed putting it together!
