Diwali is the festival of lights and millions of people around the world come together for feasts, prayers & firework displays. Diwali is all about the experience of coming together but the Coronavirus changes how we celebrate it this year. Amid this global pandemic, Google Arts & Culture has created a virtual Diwali experience that everyone can be a part of no matter where they are in the world. Google Arts & Culture has partnered with over 20 cultural heritage organisations to launch AR Diwali 2020. Here's how to watch Diwali 2020 online from home. Google Maps Introduces 'Trips' Tab in Timeline on Android to Remind of Previous Vacations.

Users can watch Deepavali online from their homes by visiting the official Google Arts & Culture website > 'Celebrate Diwali in AR'. The AR Diwali experience can only be accessed on smartphones that support Web Augmented Reality.
