DIWALI
Diwali is an India-based Hindu national festival, meaning “light festival”, the beginning of which falls on the 13th day of the Hindu calendar month of Ashvin, the beginning of the dark fortnight. In addition to its theological meaning, it refers to the celebration of the new year. It usually lasts five (or six in some parts of India) days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunar-solar month of Kartika (mid-October to mid-November).
The five-day festival originated in the Indian subcontinent and is mentioned in early Sanskrit texts.
