Celebrate Diwali, India’s Festival of Lights, with a Personalized E-Card
Centennial, CO (PRWEB) November 01, 2013 -- International Media Distribution (IMD) today announced the unveiling of the STAR Diwaligram, a customizable online e-card featuring an avatar figurine who dances and changes outfits with the click of a mouse. Sponsored by IMD, these e-cards are a fun and exciting way to celebrate Diwali, India’s Festival of Lights.
“Diwaligrammers” can upload pictures of themselves or friends and family to create a personalized touch to each dancer. An added feature to the e-card is that each Diwaligram is sharable via social media, ensuring that everyone can enjoy in the festivities of Diwali. IMD worked with TD Wang Advertising Group, LLC to develop the Diwaligram through Saavn.com.
This year, the five day festival of Diwali begins on November 3.
