Diwali - The festival of lights, mirrors life's journey - dispelling darkness, triumphing over challenges. Rangoli pains the varied hues of experiences, making life a vibrant canvas. Like Diwali sweets, cherish life's sweet moments, share joy. May this festival inspire us to kindle our inner light, embrace life's tapestry and spread love.
