Why Light Lamps?
πͺ The glow of a diya not only illuminates the physical space but symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. But have you ever wondered about the science behind it? Lighting lamps is a metaphor for dispelling ignorance and embracing knowledge. It's a beacon that guides us through the shadows of ignorance into the brilliance of understanding.
Ghee in Diwali Delights? π―
Indulging in delicious sweets laden with ghee is a Diwali tradition. Surprisingly, studies show that ghee doesn't spike lipid levels. The age-old practice of consuming ghee during Diwali not only adds flavor but also aligns with scientific evidence, providing a guilt-free enjoyment of these festive treats.
