Diwali is the grandest of all festivals celebrated across India. The festival of lights is heartily welcomed by millions of Indians with ornamented rituals such as re-decorating homes, lighting Diyas, creating bright Rangoli artwork, exchanging gifts and sweets, and much more.
This year’s Diwali is expected to be a lot different from the previous ones as people would be staying home in the wake of the ongoing pandemic. As none of us is really sure when we would be going back to the days of no social distancing and warm hugs, there are other ways to make Diwali a delightful experience for all. Keeping the fervor alive would be exciting online games that many people are turning to for replacing offline card games which they usually played with their family and friends on Diwali.
Although many Indian households attach a stigma to playing cards otherwise, on Diwali it pleasantly earns the status of an ‘auspicious activity’. Many fonds of playing Teen Patti choose poker when looking to take the excitement level a notch higher. And in the past few years, they are moving to the online version of poker.
