What's Diwali without mithai? The fun-filled events are incomplete without the mandatory exchange/servings of sweets. Ladoos, barfi, jalebi, take your pick. Looks like the Big B and Salman Khan have made their minds up.

Diwali devoid of fireworks is pretty much like Holi without colours. From classic sparklers to rounds of anaar, chakras and rockets, it's all part of the festive description. Check out how a protective Aamir Khan shows Juhi Chawla how it's done.

Hindus offer their prayers to the Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha to be blessed with prosperity and happiness. An enthusiastic Jaya Bachchan follows suit with a pooja thaali in hand.

Festivals are a great excuse to shop for gold and fineries. Like Kareena Kapoor and Neha Dhupia who slip into their best festive gear adding glamour to this grand day.

Diwali and decorations go hand in hand. And so your abode adorns dozens of lamps, strings of marigold, shimmering fairy lights, kandeels (paper lanterns) and colourful patterns of rangoli.

The equally decked up backdrop behind the glittery trio of Linda Arsenio, Aftab Shivdasani and Aamna Sharif is case in the point.
