The festival of lights is always a colourful and joyous occasion, although this year the celebration may be a bit more muted with restrictions in areas under the conditional movement control (MCO).
Still, families will mark Deepavali with traditions they have upheld all their lives.

Deepavali is all about strengthening the family bond, and it’s joyous to gather around Tarulala’s table.
Sukhdi is believed to be a favourite among Hindu gods.
Puri and chole (chick pea curry) are among the celebratory treats among most Gujarati families.
The spongy and pillowy soft vada is well soaked in yoghurt and tastes excellent when doused with tangy sweet tamarind chutney.
For Aunty Taru andd her husband Bipin Chandra Kothari, Deepavali is a celebration with a plethora of authentic treats.
Aunty Taru single-handedly prepares many sweetmeats and snacks for Deepavali.
