Diwali is India’s
biggest and most
important holiday.
Also known as the festival of lights, Diwali
gets its name from the rows of clay lamps
that are placed outside people’s homes.
These lamps are lit to symbolize the inner
light that protects us from spiritual darkness.
The day of Diwali is celebrated in October
or November, with the exact dates varying
from year to year according to the Hindu
lunar calendar.
