Diwali, the “festival of lights,” is one of the most widely celebrated occasions in India.

Signifying the victory of light over darkness, of good over evil, the festivities take place over five days

with homes across the country lit up with traditional clay diyas (lamps).

It’s a time of delicious food and auspicious beginnings, a time to be among family, friends, laughter, conversation, and music.

Adding to this important cultural moment are Spotify playlists that are curated by our India music editors

These playlists set the mood for the many moments that make up Diwali,

from saying a prayer to hosting dinner parties with friends. 

This year, Spotify is going beyond Diwali playlists to enhance the in-app experience for our listeners in India

the diaspora by launching an all-new Diwali hub

Packed with features that can connect listeners to their favorite artists

music more deeply, the hub will include personalized playlists, Spotify clips, Blend playlists with some of India’s most popular artists, and more.
