"Today, we launched our first-ever #HappyDiwali emoji to spread the festive spirit and celebrate the occasion with Indians worldwide. When you add #HappyDiwali to a Tweet, a special Twitter emoji of a lamp will appear next to the hashtag once it’s sent. The ‘diya’ (lamp) symbolises victory of good over evil, brightness over darkness, and truth over falsity," said Rishi Jaitly, vice president of Asia-Pacific and Middle East, media.

The emoji was officially launched by Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor.

You can tweet the emoji by typing #HappyDiwali. And by the looks of it, people are loving it.
