What is Diwali?

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is the biggest and most widely celebrated Indian festival, embraced by various South Asian cultures across the world. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Traditionally, homes are adorned with oil lamps (diyas), vibrant rangolis, and festive decorations. Families come together to exchange gifts, share delicious sweets, and partake in prayers and rituals. Fireworks light up the sky, and joyous celebrations fill the air. Diwali transcends religious, regional, and cultural boundaries, fostering a spirit of diversity and inclusion. It unites people from different backgrounds in a collective celebration of hope, prosperity, and new beginnings, promoting a sense of togetherness and community that embraces everyone.
