Diwali, known as the "festival of lights,"
is an important five-day festival in
Hinduism,
Jainism, and
Sikhism, occurring between mid-October and
mid-November. The
celebration marks the victory of good over evil. It is a day when people come
together in family celebrations, lighting lamps and candles in an effort to
outshine all darkness, external and internal. Lights, food, dance, music and
celebration abound!
