Diwali
Monday, October 20, 2025
Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs.
In the lead-up to Diwali, celebrants may prepare by cleaning and decorating temples, as well as their homes and workplaces. Places are brightly illuminated with candles and oil lamps, and devotional offers (puja) are made. People also often wash themselves with water and fragrant oils, or wear adornments and new, fine clothes.
The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika.
