Millions of lights and fire crackers keep the spirit of Diwali alive. Along with that comes the impressive gifts, food, and sweets.

Raksha Bandhan: This one is a very unique celebration of brothers and sisters. The unconditional love and affection between a brother and sister is signified in this festival. Brother’s wrists are tied with colorful rakhis by their sisters. Many stylish rakhis are available these days ranging from gold to diamond, pearl to kundan one.
