Diwali is celebrated in many ways across India and the world. Families light lamps, clean homes, share sweets, pray, and gather with loved ones.
Many children connect Diwali with Rama's return to Ayodhya, while other traditions highlight Lakshmi, Krishna, or regional stories. The common theme is light overcoming darkness.
For Yuva Club, Diwali can become a lesson in bringing light through kindness, gratitude, and good choices.
