Diwali

Diwali, also known as Deepavali - literally the "festival of lights" - is the most important festival in Hinduism. While the festival preparations and rituals typically extend over a five-day period, the main festival night of Diwali coincides with new moon night of the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika, which falls between mid-October and mid-November in the Gregorian calendar.
