The video has already gone viral on X, amassing over a lakh views. Social media users could not help but share their admiration. One commented, “Sivakasi also known as Little Japan for its firecracker industry.” Another wrote, “Tamilnadu people celebrating Diwali. On the occasion of Ram going back to Ayodhya after defeating Ravan.” A third humorously remarked, “NASA video ki shuru-aat Sivakasi se ho rahi hai, Kal subah takk pan India ka aa-jayega.” Yet another simply said, “This is my India.”
Tamil Nadu was not the only southern state dazzling in Diwali lights. Bengaluru’s celebrations were also caught from above in a video by aerial content creator Srihari Karanth (@sriharikaranth). The one-minute footage pieced together mesmerising aerial shots of the city gradually lighting up, fireworks sparking across the skyline, and the metropolis coming alive with festive joy.
The video even drew praise from Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who shared on X, “This has come out so well. The canvas is artistic. Brush strokes are camera exposure. Great effort.”
