In the last few years, Diwali parties have become the ‘it’ trend of social engagements and have become a cultural phenomenon, from comedian Hasan Minhaj and Mindy Kaling’s Diwali parties, which connect the Indian diaspora and raise funds for philanthropy, to Manish Malhotra’s star-studded annual Diwali bash. The month of October and days leading up to the festival of lights are inundated with multiple Diwali parties.
