Awesome 👍 Happy Diwali 🪔

[@manjeetkataria2494]

Beautiful

[@palees7132]

Great video National Geography channel. The country has gone through a constant looting and desolation of identity, it think it would be nice the starting of this video represents one of the many UNESCO recognised Hindu temples. We are 100% proud of the iconic Taj Mahal, but this is not the best identity to represent a Hindu festival. Humble request

[@rsvijayan5943]

Thanks for the lights and fireworks video!!

[@GuruDatta369]

🔥 Happy Diwali!

[@Taqiboy24]

[@yashshaligram6878]

All Indian festivals are meant to enhance the social health of the society

[@braxwhitney]

30 years old and just now learning about this festival. What a shame!

[@fakemadereal]

So when you have a fever, you can see all of this from your window.

[@rishiknight]

Diwali is soo much fun! :)

[@browndemon386]

but is there alcohol? India is very colorful i like it!! i want to go there one day

[@hoeksteen69]

When is this Festival of Lights ??

[@marialobodumasia6460]

I'm Maria a licensed guide.
Diwali is post monsoon. Oct-Nov. Come to Mumbai to see the fireworks. 😂

[@Asegh]

Have you ever cleaned your house or done dishes? Have you done anything that was Philanthropic to make something else beautiful for the love of God and your family? Then you also have made a mandala.

[@manbeh4u]

Is it not south Indian city with a beautiful gopuram that you have shown and later called it Delhi 😊

[@donnettecampbell3041]

Who's watching in 2020

[@iworkforme]

By your logic then, none should comment on hateful comments or you deem them unfit to be on the internet? just checking.

[@oknatora]

I've been camping and I've done a lot worse things than you probably have. However, accidents happen. Sure I swallow water and stuff, but I don't try to purposely do it.

[@TheVanab]

It's on tuesday 11/13/12

[@Magoonski]

Some things can be absorbed through the skin but I've never heard of someone getting sick or infected from merely touching the ground. When I was a little kid I ate mud, sand, etc. and I NEVER got sick (actually most kids go through a pica phase) even with the cat using the sand box as a litter box. So merely touching the ground? Not gross. Call your parents, I bet you ate weird/gross stuff as a kid too.

[@cowfunk]

omg these comments are appalling. you would think a natgeo subscriber would be a little more educated, or at least interested in educating themselves.

[@hewsman1]

In singapore..diwali is dipavali?

[@saraswatishaktimayi]

I am not sure they would say "happy Diwali" to each other in English though ;-D

[@pretid.r.7593]

this year it is the 13th of November, ie tomorow.

[@bostongirlsandy]

The 13th of November is my birthday.

[@Biggyearold]

Hi pats 1

[@vikramganasen]

Southern Indians pronounces it as "Deepavali". Different languages!

[@Magoonski]

So are you saying that your problem isn't with them touching the ground, it's that they are doing it on purpose?

[@tdzheng]

as a chinese in malaysia, deepavali is an amazing sight!

[@TheGoldenDogOfficial]

EVERYONE THE DAY IS COMING. WE WILL CELEBRATE 12 NOV

[@Tlebeau421]

So much racism in these comments. This is no longer pre 1970...evolve already!

[@Biggyearold]

Hi guys

[@RetroBoblox]

Helo

[@chuckiebaby2000]

Gorgeous. I want to meet the man of my dreams one day and get married during this celebration..

[@ViannaFabian]

I had to do a test about this and I was so confused 😂😂😂😂😊

[@YoMommaSmellLikeHotDogWater]

Okay, calm down.

[@oknatora]

For the most part. I know everyone touches random stuff regardless. Just something I wouldn't do.

[@brownbear696969]

This aint 'Muuurica, this is India

[@Magoonski]

Huh? It's just the ground, you can always wash your face. Besides we breathe in dust all the time.

[@Magoonski]

Troller.

[@Magoonski]

You've never been camping have you? Or attempted to water ski and drink half the lake. Germs are everywhere, viruses are everywhere but the majority are completely harmless and therefore touching the ground is not a big deal, nor is it gross. You want gross, try cleaning up after incontinent old people with diarrhea who got it all over the bed and floor. This has happened to me twice with two different patients. Now that's gross.

[@NinoAndCrewEnt]

As a Canadian in Brampton.. Diwali is everyday.. Indians everywhere having daily meetings in the parks n shit.. Stinking up the neighbourhood lol

[@MarioDragon]

Read his name, if you can't recognize a troll then you don't belong on the internet.

[@lauripolvi9256]

I don't see racism.

[@agahajak]

I love setting off bombs on diwali

[@nonsense1334]

[@BRUCEkbg]

[@yathishnaik]

Mind your language guys...

[@niamtxiv]

I wonder the same. So many idiots commenting on NatGeo.

[@whalexside8307]

Fermez vos bouches

[@iworkforme]

why do you spread hatred?

[@oknatora]

So gross how they touch the ground like that.

[@sa99miy]

shameful display

[@ayaanjamaal2467]
