Diwali, naturally known as the Festival of Lights, is one of India’s major celebrations. Primarily Hindu, it is also observed in Jain and Sikh traditions, and symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Celebrations generally last five or six days between around mid-October and mid-November. Depending on the region, traditions may recall Rama’s return to Ayodhya or honor Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity. Visitors may see homes illuminated with clay lamps, colorful rangoli designs, fireworks, shared sweets, and family worship. Check current official dates and local arrangements before planning your visit.
