May your Diwali be lit!
Diwali Festival
Diwali is known as the “Festival of Lights”
Typically falling sometime between October and November, as per the Hindu lunar calendar, Diwali is one of the brightest and most widely observed Hindu festivals within India and around the world.
Meaning “a row of lights” in Sanskrit, the holiday is commemorated with the lighting of candles, diya (clay lamps), and firecrackers as a way of symbolizing the victory of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, and spiritual light over darkness.
Diwali is hence called the “Festival of Lights,” celebrating Rama’s return from exile, as well as his victory over Ravana as that of good over evil.
