Why these songs work

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists in different ways: lamps and rangoli, prayers and puja, family visits, sweets and, very often, music late into the night. Sikhs mark Bandi Chhor Divas at the same time, and for Jains the festival remembers Lord Mahavira's nirvana. Whatever your traditions, a Diwali get-together is a perfect excuse to pass the mic around.

This list mixes the festive classic everyone expects ("Aayi Hai Diwali") and big family songs from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham with Bollywood dance hits and Punjabi party anthems. Most have karaoke or lyric versions on YouTube; for Hindi songs, search the title plus "karaoke" and pick a version with lyrics in the script your guests read best.
