Srinagar/IBNS: Diwali, the festival of lights, was celebrated with the spirit of unity in diversity across Jammu and Kashmir Thursday.

The celebrations were more visible in the evening when devotees thronged temples in Srinagar and elsewhere to offer special prayers and light up lamps.

Social networking sites were abuzz with Diwali greetings.

Muslims in Kashmir posted animations of burning diya (oil lamp) on social networking sites to greet their Hindu and Sikh friends.

On how Muslim friends have become a part of Diwali, Ashok Bhat, a Kashmiri Pandit, said: "Their warm greetings are always part of our celebrations. We exchange sweets today; I have received a large number of greetings on phone from Muslim friends across J&K, while many also visited my home to greet us."
