Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Newar Buddhists, although for each of them it marks different historical events and stories, but nonetheless the festival represents the same symbolic victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. In Jain, Diwali is celebrated in observance of "Mahavira Nirvana Divas", the physical death and final nirvana of Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankar of current time cycle. Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas in remembrance of the release of Guru Hargobind from the Gwalior Fort prison by the Mughal emperor Jahangir and the day he arrived at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Diwali is not a festival for most Buddhists, with the exception of the Newar people of Nepal who revere various deities in Vajrayana Buddhism and celebrate Diwali by offering prayers to Lakshmi.
Mobile data is extremely cheap in India, For e,g, you can get 2.5 GB per day for 28 days (total 70 GB) for Rs 399. The speed and coverage is also good. It makes sense if you are staying for a month especially as a content creator. Having an Indian SIM also enables you to book train tickets online. The SIM may even be valid on your next visit. I think the charge is Rs 20 per month to keep it active. They now allow foreign tourists to have the UPI payment service. You can deposit money and the hassle of carrying cash and having change is solved. All vendors, taxi, rickshaw have UPI.
I am planning to go in January for a few months so I look forward to seeing where you go and getting inspiration and tips same as your other past Indian videos too!
Come over to Bangalore Gabe! I will happily host you here. By far the best travel vlogger on social media by a distance. Keep up the good work and let me know if you have plans to Bangalore❤
gab..all ur best vlogs are of and in india..just love the way you move around bro..enjoy ur trip and enthrall us..all my india adventures were based on ur previous trips there..👍..rishikesh stands out for me..
Have you been to Dharamsala? That's been my favorite place up north... kind of like Rishikesh but quieter and surrounded by gorgeous green mountains! 🤎🤎🤎
Great choice Gabriel, we are waiting for you to be back in Greece. I hope you'll get a Greek passport very soon so you can travel as long as you wish in the Eurozone 🇬🇷
Not Greece again please, or India. Starting to seem like this guy has run out of countries to visit (when there are so many he hasn't been to or fully explored).
Brilliant video, Gabriel. The music when you were entering New Delhi - so trippy. My favourite videos are the India trips. Superb. Enjoy yourself and take care.
Gabriel, thanks so much for getting me excited for my upcoming trip to India! I have a lot of Indian content on my channel and you were part of my inspiration to start traveling and filming and now my channel is doing great so I thank you! I love Paharaganj as wild as it is so thank you for posting this and giving me even more motivation and excitement! Can’t wait to see more of your India travels! Especially rishikesh where I’ve spent a lot of time! The nostalgia through watching your videos is so special to me! Thank you!
Yaaayyyyy, I am going back to India too (after having spent the entire winter there last year... you actually gave me a bunch of recommendations for the trip before I went 😁)! I will arrive in Mumbai end of this month and then go down south; maybe I'll bump into you somewhere. Enjoy your stay, brother!! 🙏😎✌️
Fantastic. Takes me back. I landed in India 26 years ago (Oct 98) for 6 months and started in Paharganj. Felt like going back in time and was a massive culture shock. Had only ever been on school trips to France previously 😂. Probably got scammed, got ill, then legged it to Nepal for a month (then back to India)....i can see why you love it. There's just something about it (apart from getting a dickie tummy😂) happy travels 😊
I was very sick the whole time!! Even though I only drunk bottled water. That's why not been back, since 1989! Was shocked how dirty it was. Was glad to get back to U.K. .
Visit some new places which you have never visited before in India. Mount Abu in Rajasthan, Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, Bodhgaya in Bihar, statue of unity in Gujarat, Munnar in Kerala, Ooty and the southern most part of India Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, Lakshadweep Island and North East India.
Welcome back to India Gabe! Do visit the North East since tourist season is on and many festivals are coming up including Majuli Festival Assam (Majuli is the biggest river island in the world), Hornbill Festival Nagaland, Cherry Blossom Festival Shillong, etc. Safe travels!
Please also please visit Ladakh if you can it will be pleasure to see some tourist in off season as most indian tourist only visit in summer vecause they cannot bear cold thankyou 😊
Great to see you back in India brother 🤙🏼 lots of negative on it lately but hey it is what it is in the dog eat dog world of RUclips 😂 enjoy the awesomeness of the most interesting and humbling country I'll ever know ☺️🤙🏼💯
My advice when you arrive at Delhi Airport: change 50 USD/EUR at the Exchange just in case none of the ATMs are working - which was the case for me when I arrived there. Also The tourist office at the train station has moved 200 meters along the street. The gate appears closed sometimes and scammers just wait to bait you to another location to sell their services. (Edit: So apperently they re-opened the tourist office in the train station)
Possible to make a travel tips video for india, or for first timers 🙂 basically impossible to find good informative videos, just alot of complaining 😂 Have a great day!!
You should watch Gabriel's all vlogs on India. Bald literally cherry picked the worst places and try to claim them as entire India whereas in reality those aren't more than 30% of the country.
@HomiParsa-j7x , well, at $ 2000 usd gdp per capita, you are poor. I guess he showed what the country is really like . He didn't just pass through, Bald lived in india for many years, and he said it has not improved. I know there will be some development, but most of india is dirty, congested, and poorly developed. I am not hitting you, truth must be told.
please go to greatest man made structure incredible Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in India. if it was in western country it would have been called wonder of Wonders.
big cities in India are all terrible. population density of India is 450 per square km where population density of delhi Mumbai Kolkata are about 30000 per square km foreigner generally stay and explore Old part of big cities where population density is 100000 to 500000 square km. so foreigners are in the most terrible places of India where population is 1000 times more than the normal.
I went to the Lake District back when I was 18, enjoyed it and would like to go back. Yes, the prices in India are a huge bonus, travel for $30-40 per day or even less instead of $100-200.
Your ignorance is pathetic. You haven't watched properly Gabriel's vlogs on India. Because otherwise you wouldn't have made such a comment as if India is everywhere like Bald showed. Many youtube vloggers including Gabriel has called out his hypocrisy because of cherry picking the worst possible places in India. India has places like Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Northeast India which are more beautiful than your country and Gabriel already showed some of them.

Great choice Gabriel, we are waiting for you to be back in Greece. I hope you'll get a Greek passport very soon so you can travel as long as you wish in the Eurozone 🇬🇷
Not Greece again please, or India. Starting to seem like this guy has run out of countries to visit (when there are so many he hasn't been to or fully explored).
It doesn't make sense, does it? It's as if he's scared to move out of the two country comfort zone!@@martinhollings
Really looking forward to a new India series Gabe! Hope you visit Orissa
Do visit Tawang, Aizawl and Kaziranga in North East and enjoy local winter food, culture and wine.
Brilliant video, Gabriel.
The music when you were entering New Delhi - so trippy. My favourite videos are the India trips. Superb.
Enjoy yourself and take care.
Welcome to INDIA,
If you have time, visit KOLKATA... There are many things you can explore here.. :)

Gabriel in the search for hot climates 😊
Fricking love IT!!!!
Amazing visuals with all the coloured lights and general bustle!
No way man, can't wait to get to Mumbai in February. 😂🇮🇳🇮🇪 Bald doesn't have that much pull I hope
Bald's hypocrisy and biased cherry pick of the worst places in India has been called out by many western youtube travel vloggers.
@HomiParsa-j7x I agree, 💯 sabotage a vlog about a country that they have been before.
Visit some new places which you have never visited before in India. Mount Abu in Rajasthan, Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh, Bodhgaya in Bihar, statue of unity in Gujarat, Munnar in Kerala, Ooty and the southern most part of India Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, Lakshadweep Island and North East India.

Welcome in India
Gabriel, what about Northeast India?
It's a great place.
You have Andaman Islands, Lakshwadeep Islands.
Great to visit India I have been to Goa 25 times, but great to see the rest of India via your videos...
A taxi driver that didn’t have change… how convenient
Yes Yes Yes.
Welcome back gabe 🎉 big fan of you from Andhra Pradesh.
I had food in that exact rooftop restaurant back in February ~ fantastic meal 🤌🏼🤌🏼
Love your passport stamps
Airport metro express train takes 15 min and 60 ₹
Puri video please
Come to Lucknow for authentic Mughlai cuisine….
Possible to make a travel tips video for india, or for first timers 🙂 basically impossible to find good informative videos, just alot of complaining 😂
Have a great day!!
Good idea, I'll keep it in mind.
try to avoid Delhi when you first land in India. if you have to land in Delhi then avoid Old Delhi.
I guess you like it there. 😅
You should watch Gabriel's all vlogs on India.
Bald literally cherry picked the worst places and try to claim them as entire India whereas in reality those aren't more than 30% of the country.

Have you ever visited Amritsar in Punjab? It would be cool to watch you visit the Sikh Golden Temple. Safe travels, Gabe.
Do you plan to go to the southern part of India on this trip? What about visiting Kerala in the south?
Dude seriously. Again Delhi and Again Paharganj? I mean why? I mean go to Mizoram or somewhere new 🤔
Planning for Gangotri?
Yess ! This is going to be great ! Enjoy your stay in India. :)
Congrats Gabe for DJT next president of the USA ❤
Great to see you back bro. You should be chilling in Rishikesh now. Thinking about a restorative soak at Gangotri again?
Kinda sorta considering it, but no hurry to jump in a bumpy bus quite yet. It would be great to get up into the mountains though.
Looking forward to seeing this. ❤🇮🇪🇮🇳
Right on, enjoy.
Welcome
Wel come to my country
Iam indian
please go to greatest man made structure incredible Kailasa Temple at Ellora Caves in India. if it was in western country it would have been called wonder of Wonders.
I agree, far more impressive than the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil.
I was in Willits yesterday. Drove up Sherwood....
Cool. 👍
Hey do you have your couchsurfing account?
Maybe, but I haven't logged into it in years and years.
I’ve stayed at the Vivek hotel a few times over the years
You should explore Rajasthan, Pune
I haven't been to Pune yet, but tons of times to Rajasthan: ruclips.net/video/AlwuhicGv1U/видео.html
14th time, and rightly so. Welcome back Gabe.🎉
Please come to Kolkata 😊
Been there: www.youtube.com/@GabrielTravelerVideos/search?query=Kolkata
5$ for thali,WTF?
it would be cheaper in Malaysia
You can get a Thali for a Dollar in India at a decent restaurant. It all depends upon the place you're visiting.
@@gogadev i wouldn't be surprised if that place has one menu for Indians and other for foreigners
@@danieleverywhere132 That foriegner price is originally a South east asian scam. Not in India.
I love ur positivity towards India. The country might be a failed one, but it certainly has some incredible places.
India is a failed one ???
You are a success
Congratulations
If the spirit is alive a country can never fail, but keep up your nihilism if it serves you that well
Really - India is a failed country!! Which world do you live in?
Boom
Yo.
❤
Ram Ram
Omg that is the worst place to stay!
👍
You said your going to india
🙂👍
India Greece India Greece..... just the facts
Lol
We all like what we like I've been to Amsterdam 10 times and keep going back. So what
So true it’s so boring
Can’t watch India videos with all the horns.
@@davidvilchez2209So what? We want to see new places, not India Greece, India Greece 👎

Exactly.
Never in my life would i go there.. GHETTO!😅
Have you been to the lake District or the Yorkshire dales or the north Yorkshire moors . Far better then India . But I suppose you like the cheap tat
I went to the Lake District back when I was 18, enjoyed it and would like to go back. Yes, the prices in India are a huge bonus, travel for $30-40 per day or even less instead of $100-200.
How can you seriously compare the Yorkshire dales to India? 🤣

I love that Gabriel goes to India so I don’t have to.
