After months of being forced indoors due to the new coronavirus pandemic, the night will be a little brighter tonight as hundreds of thousands of people across the country celebrate the festival of lights – Diwali. Different people have different ways of celebrating: some like to dress up for the holiday, others like cozy gatherings, and some like to please their taste buds.
And for some, the celebration is incomplete without good music. While we have enough Bollywood hits to set the mood, here are a few songs that can resonate with you in the middle of the holiday, and they all remind you of one thing: Spread the Light.
