Diwali, also called Deepavali, is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals in India. Known as the Festival of Lights, it marks the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Families come together to pray, decorate their homes, exchange sweets, and light small clay lamps called diyas to bring positivity and joy into their lives.

The Diwali festival spans five special days, each with its own rituals and customs. This year, the celebrations start with Dhanteras on October 18, followed by Choti Diwali, or Narak Chaturdashi, on October 20, and the main Diwali and Lakshmi Puja, also on October 20. Govardhan Puja falls on October 22, and Bhai Dooj concludes the festival on October 23.

Each day has its own meaning and way of lighting diyas to honor traditions.
