India - Diwali
Diwali, also known as Deepavali or the Festival of Lights, is a major Hindu festival that falls between mid-October and mid-November in the Gregorian calendar. It is dedicated to the victory of light over darkness.
Diwali has been celebrated since ancient times. It originated as a harvest festival. The word “deepavali” can be translated from Sanskrit as “a row of lights”. The celebration of Diwali includes thousands of lights that decorate houses, temples, and other buildings.
Diwali is one of the happiest and most significant festivals in India and Nepal. People start preparing for the celebration beforehand, cleaning their homes and decorating them with lights. It is customary to buy new clothes and presents for relatives and friends.
