AGRA: 
Famous for mughal Diwali and celebrated in true spirit. Agra Fort decorates with lights and sounds on the occasion and don’t forget to pay a visit to the Taj Mahal of course. Instead of staying in hotels, should get involved in local streets of city. You can also light your own diyas and candles.

VARANASI:
To experience traditional culture Varanasi is the best place to go. Celebrating Diwali in Varanasi is great experience. But surely you will be ready for lights, firecrackers and a lot of noise, because this is where people will celebrate with truly wild abandon. To watch fireworks light up the sky and diyas floating down the Ganges is something you don't want to miss.

KOLKATA:
Kali puja & the food pandal is the key rituals of Diwali in Kolkata.
People celebrate Diwali with true pomp and grandeur. People  celebrate Kali Puja here which is much more than any other city in the country, with diyas lighting up the city through the night until the fireworks for Diwali go off the next day.

PURUSHWADI:
As to witness Diwali of Mumbai, lifetime experience. It is the place to see a colourfully lit city for Diwali. But if you want calm celebration out to the city, no better place than Purushwadi. It is located near Nashik and known for its peaceful, but not eerily silent or devoid of celebrations – because the locals have quite a ball on the day. Celebrating Diwali in Purushwadi is the lifetime memory of different Diwali.

Atleast for once, experience the Diwali of above places.
