Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It typically falls in October or November and lasts for five days. Families decorate their homes with oil lamps, candles, and colorful rangoli, and share sweets and gifts. Fireworks illuminate the night sky, adding to the festive spirit. The festival also honors the goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity. Diwali fosters unity, joy, and gratitude, bringing communities together in celebration and reflection.
