Diwali, the Festival of Lights, has officially been inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Deepavali/Diwali is celebrated across India as a festival marking the last harvest of the year and the start of a new season, symbolising the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Homes are cleaned, decorated, lit with lamps, and prayers are offered for prosperity and new beginnings. 🪔🏮#deepavali #diwali #unesco
