Diwali, one of Indiaโs most vibrant festivals, symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. Celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains around the world, it lasts five days filled with rituals, sweets, and illumination. Homes are cleaned, decorated with oil lamps (diyas), and filled with the aroma of festive food. Families exchange gifts and gather to worship Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Fireworks brighten the night sky, symbolizing hope and joy. Diwali is more than just a visual spectacleโitโs a reminder to renew oneโs spirit, forgive, and spread light in the lives of others.
