Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is the Hindu festival of lights, but Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists also celebrate it. The name means “row of lights.” The multi-day festival typically falls between October and November. It celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
Celebrations include:
- Lighting small oil lamps called diyas, candles, and lanterns.
- Cleaning and decorating homes often involves creating colorful floor designs called rangoli.
- Performing worship ceremonies (puja), often to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
- Exchanging sweets and gifts with family and friends.
- Setting off fireworks.
The specific date is based on the Hindu lunar calendar, with the main day of celebration occurring on the new moon.
