His usual Diwali tradition is to spend a day with the armed forces, but this year will be a little different for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has a busy two days leading up to Diwali, October 24, as he goes temple-hopping in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. This involves travel to Kedarnath and Badrinath on October 21, and then a trip to Ayodhya on Chhoti Diwali, October 23.
