Diwali is not just about bursting crackers for Savarkundla villages. It's actually about aiming them at opponents. For years now, Diwali is welcomed with a strange tradition wherein groups of villagers hurl bombs at each other. The fight is locally known as 'Ingoriya ni Ladai' (War using ingoriya). Ingoriya is a local fruit that grows in abundance in the region. Gun powder is stuffed in these little fruits, which are then used as crackers ready to be hurled.
