🪔 About Diwali
Diwali (also known as Deepavali) is one of the most important festivals in Hinduism, Jainism, and Sikhism. It symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
The festival is celebrated by lighting diyas (oil lamps) and candles, decorating homes with rangoli patterns, exchanging gifts and sweets, and setting off fireworks. The main day features Lakshmi Puja, prayers to the goddess of wealth and prosperity.
Diwali is celebrated by over 1 billion people worldwide, making it one of the largest and most widely celebrated festivals on Earth. It is a public holiday in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, and several other countries.
