Thanks for sharing your memories of Kerala. This article delves further into exactly what you were saying. With the spread of media/technology, it seems that regional differences are perhaps not quite as strong as they were in the past.

Thanks for the additions! It looks like Diwali has been celebrated at the White House since 2003.

I’m sure that has changed. Interesting to learn about the different beliefs in different parts of the country.
