Diwali, a holiday that takes place over five days in the fall, is usually a busy time for Deepa Patel and her north Phoenix restaurant Om Indian Bistro as she gears up to sell traditional snacks and sweets for the holiday each year.
"I love the family get-together, all the small kids, young, old, everyone. And usually the elders give something to the children," she says."It's like Christmas to here." Diwali lasts for five days and throughout the week, families clean their houses and set out clay lanterns to decorate. People often wear their best clothes for the holiday as well.
The main celebration falls on the third night of the holiday, and on the following nights, families visit different relatives to celebrate and share a meal.Traditionally, when friends and family visit each others' homes during the holiday, the host gives them sweets, Patel says. The sweets can be homemade or store bought and come in all shapes, sizes, flavors and colors.
