The Significance of Diwali:
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, holds immense cultural and spiritual significance for Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists. The festival typically spans five days and is marked by the lighting of oil lamps, or diyas, decorating homes with colourful rangoli, exchanging gifts, and enjoying festive meals. Diwali is a time for families to come together, reflect on the past year, and usher in the new one with renewed hope and positivity.
