Diwali Unit 

Diwali, also called Deepavalli, means “row of lamps” and is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India and around the world. This year, it falls on October 20th. Families mark the occasion by lighting small oil lamps, decorating their homes, wearing new clothes, sharing sweets, and enjoying fireworks. The festival celebrates light over darkness, togetherness, and joyful traditions. This week, we’re excited to share resources from the Diwali unit on MusicplayOnline by Manju Durairaj.
