Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is the most celebrated Hindu festival by the Hindu community worldwide. It lasts five days and refers to the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. During Diwali season, people decorate their homes, temples, and public spaces with colorful lights, diyas (oil lamps), and string lights.
Families gaslight delicious sweets and delicacies at this joyful event, exchange gifts, and burst fireworks. At this event, people can show unity, strengthen their relationships, and bring prosperity and happiness. Diwali is the best season to renew, reflect, and celebrate life’s blessings.
