Each year, Diwali asks the same quiet question of those separated by distance: how do you carry light to someone you cannot reach in person? On November 1st, 2024, Livemint answered practically — curating twenty wishes, images, and animated messages ready to travel through WhatsApp and social media to family and friends across continents. It is a small gesture, but it speaks to something larger: that ancient festivals do not disappear in the digital age, they simply find new vessels for the same enduring sentiment.
