New Delhi: Diwali is one of India's most anticipated festivals. Aside from worshipping Hindu gods, the festival of lights not only ushers in a festive atmosphere, but it also brings family and friends together. In the midst of all of this, how can we overlook the soan papdi ke dabbe that people exchange when they visit each other on Diwali?
