Guwahati, Oct 31: Homes are illuminated with traditional clay oil lamps, symbolising the victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. Festivities include gatherings, fireworks, feasts and prayers.

Diwali holds a significant place in Hindu culture and is celebrated by over a billion people worldwide, including various faiths in India and the Indian diaspora.

In Bonkwar Nagar, Guwahati, women celebrated Diwali by lighting traditional earthen lamps. Kanchan Devi, a resident, explained, “Kali Puja takes place before Diwali. Diwali is the festival of lights, and today we are celebrating by lighting a lamp on the banana tree.”

Padma Rabha, another local resident, noted, “It is important to light earthen lamps on banana trees on Diwali. However, banana trees are rare in the city, so most people decorate with artificial lights.”

A young child, Manish Kashyab, urged a safe celebration: “Everyone celebrates Diwali, but please stay safe. I appeal to everyone to avoid high-sound firecrackers as they disturb animals. Use soundless fireworks instead.”
