Village in Himachal Pradesh does not celebrate Diwali due to centuries-old 'curse'

No Diwali celebrations are held in Himachal Pradesh's Sammoo village, a custom they've been following since time immemorial due to a legend that dates back generations, PTI reported. The story is about a woman who, upon hearing news of husband's death, committed Sati on Diwali. Consumed by grief, she's believed to have cursed the villagers, forbidding them from celebrating Diwali.
