Houston – Happy Diwali!
Close to one billion people around the world will celebrate Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Diwali is a big deal in Houston as well with the city being home to half of the state’s Hindu temples or mandirs. Practicing Hindus aren’t the only ones celebrating, people from across the Indian diaspora take part in the almost week-long holiday.
To learn more and get into the spirit ourselves, cookbook author Shubhra Ramineni of Spice Girl Kitchen threw us our own Diwali celebration in Studio B.
