Diwali Around the World: How Global Communities Keep the Festival Alive Abroad
Every October, millions around the world celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights — a time for family, gratitude and new beginnings. For many living abroad, it’s also a moment to feel closer to home, even when oceans apart.
Celebrating across borders
From London to Toronto, Dubai to Sydney, Diwali shines in every corner of the world. Families light diyas, share sweets and honor the triumph of light over darkness. Yet for many, the celebration also means sending support, love, and blessings to those back home.
Tradition meets technology
Today, connection is not only through rituals but also through technology - digital money transfers have become part of the modern tradition. Sending funds for gifts, groceries or festive meals helps families celebrate fully and bridges the distance between loved ones. A simple transfer can mean your family preparing a festive dinner that carries your love across borders.
