Celebrate Diwali Across Borders With Just a Click

NRIMatters.com and Kotak NRI Banking have come up with a unique idea for people to greet each other this Diwali with “Festival of Lights”. Now Indians can light up the whole world this Diwali using the World Map thus spreading the message of love, happiness and prosperity.

In its first of a kind initiative, a person can choose the destination of his friends’/relatives’ homes and pin a Diya at their place of residence, thus wishing them a prosperous and happy Diwali.

 Diwali is by far the biggest festival for Indians and NRIs living all over the world and “The Festival of Lights” application is a perfect opportunity to both celebrate the Diwali spirit and spread it among your family and all your friends by lighting up their homes.

 Though Indians make up only a tiny percentage of the total US population, the impact of Indian festivals and Diwali is great in the country. Diwali, being the most important festival for Indians of every religion in India, is bound to be celebrated with great enthusiasm by the Indian Diaspora, irrelevant of the place they are living in.

 Barack Obama, who celebrated Diwali in the White House couple of years back, has won a lot of praise from NRI’s and the Indian Diaspora for being the first US President to celebrate Diwali in the White House. The NRI community feels that such a great gesture goes a long way in demonstrating the strong ties that India shares with the US today. NRIs have played an important role in cementing these ties between the two countries.

 This Diwali, by using Festival of Lights, not only can you light up a Diya, but also light up someone’s life by way of giving and donating to someone in need. Along with sending a greeting, you can also donate to the poor and needy in India through this wonderful endeavour. NRI Matters and Kotak NRI Banking have roped in various NGO’s that help millions of underprivileged people in India to give them a better life, and have been working day and night tirelessly for their upliftment. Every time you donate to an NGO, you make a difference to someone’s life.
