My first introduction to Diwali was with the TV Series “Departures”. In Season 1, Episode 3 – India: Sacred Ground, the guys visit their friend Monica and spend Diwali with her and her family in New Delhi. I remember watching that episode and being absolutely enthralled with the holiday. It seems like such a joyous and festivous holiday, which is why it has made my list of the top world festivals and events for travelers to experience in person during their lifetime.
