Event Summary

Diwali, also known as Deepawali, is a major Hindu festival celebrated across India and globally. In 2025, the main day of Diwali, including Lakshmi Puja, is expected to fall on October 20, although some sources suggest October 21 due to the Amavasya Tithi spanning two days. The festival symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. It commemorates Rama's return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. The five-day celebration includes Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali), the main Diwali day with Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja, and Bhai Dooj. Devotees perform various rituals, light lamps, decorate homes, exchange sweets, and offer prayers to deities such as Lakshmi, Ganesha, and Kubera for prosperity and well-being. Modern celebrations increasingly emphasize eco-friendly choices.
