Major Hindu festival
Dipavali, commonly known as Diwali, is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It is associated with the spiritual victory or triumph of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin and Kārtika – between around mid-October and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.
