Diwali is India’s biggest and most important festival of the year. Typically celebrated in October or November, the festival celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and the human ability to overcome. Diwali is known as the “festival of lights,” thanks to the practice of lighting oil lamps and decorating homes and cities with strings of twinkling lights to symbolize the victory of light over darkness. Typically, Diwali is celebrated with food, fireworks, colored sand, and special candles and lamps. The festival is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists, reflecting the substantial religious diversity of India. But everyone is welcome to participate in this festival.
