Also known as Deepawali, Diwali is one of India’s most significant Hindu festivals, celebrated with great joy and splendour across the country. According to the Hindu lunar calendar, the festival falls on the 15th day of Kartik, marking the darkest night of the year.

Homes are beautifully decorated with diyas, rangoli and colourful lights, while families come together to perform rituals, share sweets and celebrate the triumph of light over darkness. The festivities stretch over five days, each marked by its own customs and prayers.
