About Diwali
Diwali, also called Deepavali, is widely known as the Festival of Lights. It is one of the most important Hindu festivals and is also marked by Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhist communities. The main observance is associated with the new moon of the Hindu month Kartika, usually falling in October or November in the Gregorian calendar. Families often clean and decorate homes, light diyas or lamps, share sweets, gather for prayers, and visit relatives. Meanings vary by region and tradition, but common themes include light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and renewal at the turning of the year. This page uses the date already published in timekit's religious holidays calendar, so regional panchang and local observance may differ by a day.
