Diwali, one of the most well-known Hindu holidays, represents the metaphysical "winning of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance."
One of the most significant festivals in Hinduism is the festival of lights known as Diwali. The festival is observed during the Hindu lunisolar month of Kartika and typically lasts five days, though it may last up to six days in some parts of India.
Observances: families come together, Diya and lighting, home decoration, shopping, fireworks, puja (prayer), gifts, feast, and sweets.
Background Information
In one of the dominating recollections in Hindu folklore, Diwali is the day Ruler Rama, his life partner Sita Devi and sibling Lakshmana return to their local land following 14 years in banishment. The townspeople lit a course for Rama, who had crushed the evil presence ruler Ravana. Reenactments of this story are essential for festivities in certain locales.
