The biggest holiday in India is Diwali, also known as Deepavali, which is a festival of lights celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists. Diwali is a major cultural and religious festival that signifies the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It typically falls between October and November each year, depending on the Hindu lunar calendar.
During Diwali, people decorate their homes with oil lamps and colorful lights, burst firecrackers, exchange gifts, and indulge in feasts and sweets. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm and is marked by religious ceremonies, family gatherings, and various cultural events.
