1. Light- Night

2. Crackers- Snackers:

Light also signifies the promotion of a deeper realization of one’s inner light. Diwali signifies and symbolizes this light in the form of lighting up the firecrackers.

3. Sweet tooth!!!

A mother’s love has no equal! Surely, love in the form of making sweets for the kids during Diwali is also incomparable! The sweets are not meant to harm the teeth or clog the arteries but when cooked with the right amount of oil, they are truly delicious and a symbol of love and care that emanates from the mother herself.

4. Gift to Lift spirits:

A gift is something that can be purchased by us but when it is given to us by near and dear ones, the anticipation in the minds of the children the night before Diwali is extremely memorable. In fact, the clothes that are gifted and worn during Diwali are meant to be colorful because, in Hindu Dharma, Black and White are associated with funerals.
