Diwali 2023 is fast approaching! On November 12 - in fact, a few days before and even a few days after - the Indian and Hindu world will celebrate this Festival of Lights, which embodies the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
Preparations begin weeks in advance, with families decorating their homes with lamps, diyas, and floor rangoli to invite the deities into the home, such as Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesh, the elephant-headed god.
Between the exchange of gifts between friends and family, festive meals based on traditional recipes, fireworks and visits to temples to honor the deities, Diwali 2023 is also the festival that celebrates and strengthens the bonds of family and friendship. Today, Diwali has spread beyond India's borders and is celebrated all over the world, particularly among communities from the Indian diaspora.
In Paris, too, the Diwali 2023 celebrations are shaping up to be grandiose, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to rediscover the capital's Indian heritage, places and neighborhoods, savor specialties in dedicated restaurants and learn a little more about the tradition and history of Diwali?
