What do men do on Diwali?

On Diwali, men participate in various traditional activities, including decorating their homes with lights and diyas (oil lamps) and preparing for family gatherings. They often dress in festive attire, such as kurta-pajamas, and may engage in rituals like performing puja (prayer) to honor deities, especially Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Additionally, men often partake in the exchange of sweets and gifts, visit friends and relatives, and may enjoy fireworks displays to celebrate the festival.
