About Diwali
Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It is observed by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists, with different stories attached, such as the return of Rama to Ayodhya in the Ramayana.
The main day falls on the new moon in the Hindu lunisolar month of Kartika. The festival lasts five days, with Lakshmi Puja on the main evening.
In 2030 it falls on a Saturday. This countdown runs to the first moment of October 26 in the time zone you choose, so the figure matches the calendar day on your wall.
How Diwali is celebrated
- Lighting oil lamps called diyas and candles
- Drawing rangoli patterns at the door
