Diwali in Ahmedabad is a stunning five-day “Festival of Lights” where the city’s historic pols and modern skylines are illuminated by thousands of diyas, vibrant rangolis, and spectacular fireworks. The following day marks Bestu Varas (Gujarati New Year), a deeply cultural celebration where families visit temples in new attire, exchange the greeting “Saal Mubarak,” and traders perform Chopda Pujan to sanctify their new account books for a prosperous year ahead.
