Diwali, the festival of lights, is a major Hindu festival celebrated in India and other countries, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. Devotees also worship Goddess Lakshmi for wealth and prosperity and emphasise the importance of knowledge and education.
The festival is marked by lighting diyas, decorating homes, exchanging gifts and bursting fireworks. On this auspicious day, devotees make rangoli, hang beautiful torans and put lights to decorate their homes. People also exchange gifts such as sweets and dry fruits among family and friends.
This year, the festival is celebrated across the country on October 20.
