India revels in Diwali celebrations

India revels in Diwali celebrations

What's behind this

On Sunday, Diwali celebrations unfolded across India after days of bustling markets, with people decorating homes with strings of lights, placing diyas, and intermittent firecrackers lighting the night sky. In Delhi, the festivities were set against smog and very poor air quality, with firecrackers noted as a contributing factor and strict measures taken to manage the situation. Leaders participated in customary rituals, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked the occasion with security personnel in Chhattisgarh, declaring a new era free from Naxalism.
