Happy Diwali
November 12 marks India’s most important festival of the year, Diwali, or the "Festival of Lights." This five-day festival is a time to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. This event is widely observed by over a billion people from a variety of faiths across India and its diaspora. The five days of Diwali are marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and charitable giving. For some, Diwali also is considered the beginning of the new year.
