Moreover, people in twin cities are gearing up to celebrate the fast-approaching religious festival with customary zeal and fervour, resulting in increased sales of businesses dealing with traditional food and multicolour lights.

According to a recent report aired on a public television, last year’s trend of placing food orders via online channels is being followed this year as well. Catering businesses are busy with preparations of arranging and delivering large quantities of meals that are traditionally shared among family, friends, neighbours and the underprivileged.
