When Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya after 14 long years defeating Ravana, people lit up their houses with diyas and lamps to mark the auspicious occasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/facts-about-diwali-image-4.jpg\" alt=\"diyas-the-festival-of-lights-diwali\" class=\"wp-image-7531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/facts-about-diwali-image-4.jpg 635w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/facts-about-diwali-image-4-300x191.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, when Jews won their war against the Syrian Greek army and reclaimed their Jewish Holy Temple in Jerusalem 2000 years ago, the candles inside the temple burned for 9 consecutive days even though they were left with oil just enough to last one day. Hence, the tradition continues even today with Jews lighting 9 candles on the menorah from right to left to celebrate the miracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Witness&nbsp;Hanukkah in India<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you may not believe it, Jews in India have been celebrating the festival of lights for over 2000 years now. Some of the places where a small community of Jews is still thriving are Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, and Kochi. Every year on Hanukkah, a huge menorah is lit in front of the Gateway of India in Mumbai. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/mumbai\/car-rental\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Book your Mumbai local rental (opens in a new tab)\">Book your Mumbai local rental<\/a> for a safe commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"966\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1491581129440.jpeg\" alt=\"gateway-of-india-mumbai-hanukkah\" class=\"wp-image-7516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1491581129440.jpeg 966w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1491581129440-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1491581129440-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pune is home to 100-150 Jewish families and celebrations in the Synagogue is a lovely way to unite the community and keep the tradition alive. Succath Shelomo Synagogue in Rasta Peth and The Ohel David Synagogue on Moledina Road are places you should head to on Hanukkah.

When the Jews won their war against the Greek army and gained control over their holy temple, it was not just the victory that moved them but also the miracle of the oil that stayed with them for years to come. Hence, the theme for Hanukkah surrounds deep-fried food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few dishes you must try this year on Hanukkah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Sufganiyot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recipesufganiyotshutterstock.jpg\" alt=\"sufganiyot-hanukkah-delicacy\" class=\"wp-image-7522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recipesufganiyotshutterstock.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recipesufganiyotshutterstock-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/recipesufganiyotshutterstock-768x499.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Sufganiyot roughly translates to doughnuts in English. This deep-fried specialty is sweet and is also filled with jelly. You can find a variety of these and they are sold in bakeries especially around the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Sfenj<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image.jpg\" alt=\"sfenj-hanukkah-delicacy\" class=\"wp-image-7523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.savaari.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption>ML1203ESEA13<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sfenj is a lot like Sufganiyot. However, instead of the filling, it is sprinkled with powdered sugar and is equally delicious to devour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.
