The assembly truly left a positive impact on the audience and spread the message of celebrating a happy Diwali while keeping in mind the safety of all our loved ones. The assembly made everyone realise that the true essence of Diwali is finding positivity in the moment, and being grateful for health and happiness. Large-scale celebrations aren’t necessary; what’s important is cherishing time spent with those close to you.
