<p>On the eve of Diwali, the '<strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/shilpa-shetty-celebrates-25-years-of-dhadkan-with-meetha-23589109" rel="nofollow">Dhadkan</a></strong>' star took to Instagram and shared a video, giving a sneak peek into her rangoli creation at her home.</p>
<p>"In the video, Shamita is seen completely absorbed in creating rangoli, showcasing her artistic flair by making it entirely on her own, while Shilpa opted for stencils to craft her designs.</p>
<p>Towards the end of the video, the sisters together wished everyone a <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/amp/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/ranbir-kapoor-and-alia-bhatt-to-move-into-their-new-mansion-on-diwali-23599182" rel="nofollow">Happy Diwali</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Shilpa captioned the post simply as "Rangoli time," capturing the festive mood perfectly.</p>
<p>Diwali, also known as Deepawali, is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in India and among Indian communities worldwide. Known as the "festival of lights," it symbolises the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.</p>
<p>Diwali also marks the return of Lord Rama to <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/raveena-tandon-visits-ram-temple-in-ayodhya-23590605" rel="nofollow">Ayodhya</a></strong> after defeating the demon king Ravana, as narrated in the Ramayana. During the festival, homes are cleaned and illuminated with oil lamps and lights.</p>
<p>Devotees worship Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. Families exchange sweets and gifts, wear new clothes, and burst firecrackers as part of the celebrations.</p>
<p>This year, Diwali will be celebrated on the intervening night of October 20 and 21.</p>
