Diwali, one of Hinduism’s most important festivals, is dedicated to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, and symbolises the victory of good over evil

Diwali (Divali) is a major Hindu religious festival that lasts for five days during the lunar months of Ashvina and Karttika (October–November). The name is derived from the Sanskrit term dipavali, meaning “row of lights,” which are lit on the new-moon night.
