Fireworks + Light Show · Asia/Kolkata
Diwali coincides with the Sikh festival Bandi Chhor Divas at the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib), Amritsar. The SGPC illuminates the complex with thousands of oil lamps and LED lights, and a fireworks display lights the sky over the Sarovar, reflected in the holy tank. The temple has increasingly encouraged lamps/candles over firecrackers for environmental reasons.
