This year's main celebrations fall between October 31 and November 1, but some events including a large London one took place last weekend. In Trafalgar Square on October 27, a festival of lights was held from 1pm to 7pm and saw hundreds of Indian dancers in rainbow saris perform.

Pooja Bavishi, the owner of Malai Ice Cream, reflects on her childhood love for mithai but has reinvented traditional sweets to incorporate saltiness, creatively balancing flavors.

Previous Indian Barbies were criticized for misrepresenting culture and failing to resonate with consumers due to their unrealistic portrayal of Indian features and background.
