Date: 2016-10-23

In essence, Diwali is a celebration of the positive overcoming everything that’s negative – and it’s a time of great happiness throughout India and the diaspora.  It’s traditional to offer sweetmeats as a symbol of love, friendship and prosperity – and Mela shares the joy this week with eggless rose and cardamom cake, pistachio magaj and saffron almond peda.
