Animal Rahat’s sanctuary residents were treated to a delightful Diwali celebration again this year—complete with festive decor, marigold garlands, and lots of tasty treats, including jaggery and fresh fruit!

With no frightening firecrackers to be seen or heard, the rescued and retired bullocks, horses, camels, buffaloes, sheep, and dogs were able to relax and enjoy the food and fun.

And for your enjoyment, here are some photos from the celebration:
