Ace shuttler Saina Nehwal, tennis star Sania Mirza and chess player Tania Sachdev could all be seen flaunting their ethnic attire on social media handles.
Wrestler Bajrang Punia also tweeted out a video on behalf of his own family wishing everyone a happy and safe Deepavali.
Social media was abuzz with #HappyDiwali tweets, mostly coming in from the Indian cricket fraternity.
India coach Ravi Shastri, opener Shikhar Dhawan, Chennai Super Kings star Suresh Raina, Kings XI Punjab coach Anil Kumble were among those who extended their best wishes to fans across the country.
"Let the joy and spirit of Diwali give you and your family light, peace, prosperity and happiness. Wishing all of you a very #HappyDiwali ," tweeted Dhawan.
Kumble posted, "Hope this Deepavali gives you and your family lots of joy, happiness and prosperity. Wishing everyone a joyful and Happy Deepavali."
