The festival of Diwali, or Deepavali as it is referred to in some regions, is a religious and cultural holiday that signifies the triumph of good over evil and the triumph of knowledge over ignorance. It is celebrated by many everywhere and is a time where friends, families, and communities come together to enjoy life’s simple gifts and partake in rituals and festivities such as the lighting of lamps (known as diyas) and the launching of fireworks.
