Share how your village celebrates Diwali

Every village celebrates in its own way. If yours has a public Diwali programme — at the temple, a fair, a community dinner, a rangoli contest — add it as an event with its date, time and venue. For your family's customs, the food you make, or what the elders remember, write a post with photos.

  1. On your village's page, choose Add an event for a public celebration, or Write a post (add #diwali) for traditions and photos.
  2. You sign in with your mobile number; posting needs a one-time photo ID check from your dashboard.
  3. A moderator checks every submission before it appears. Nothing is published automatically.
  4. Post only your own photos, and only of people who agree — never of children without their parents' consent.
