Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, is one of the most special celebrations around the world.
To celebrate Diwali,Mattelcollaborated with renowned Indian designerAnita Dongre.
Together, they created a Barbie doll that honors the imagery around this unique tradition.
Designing the Barbie Diwali doll has truly been a fun and fulfilling experience, Dongre wrote onInstagram.
This Barbie Diwali doll represents the fashion-forward modern woman, who wears India on her sleeve with pride.
The doll also dons a pair of large golden earrings that match her bangles and shoes.
The look is completed with a pulled-back, sleek wavy hairstyle that’s curled at the ends.
I think the fact that Barbie is celebrating Diwali, is so special today, Dongre toldGood Morning America.
This year, Diwali falls on November 1, a date determined by the Hindu lunisolar calendar.
