| Fireworks illuminated the evening sky, earthen lamps dotted houses and lights decked up buildings as people exchanged sweets and gifts on Diwali which also witnessed bonhomie between Indian and Pakistani guards at border posts.
Children and youths burst crackers and lit fireworks while families visited their neighbours, exchanged 'Happy Diwali' greetings and sweets. People also took the route of SMS, WhatsApp and social networking websites to wish each other.
President Pranab Mukherjee, Vice President Hamid Ansari and Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the people on the occasion of Diwali saying the festival of lights strengthens the country's resolve to follow true ethical values.
For the second successive year, PM Modi celebrated Diwali with troops and visited military installations associated with the 1965 Indo-Pak war.
Diwali is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya from his exile after vanquishing demon-king Ravana.
