Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of India\u2019s most widely celebrated festivals, symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. The festival is marked by the lighting of diyas, decorating homes, exchanging sweets, and bursting firecrackers.<\/p>\n

It holds religious significance for Hindus, commemorating Lord Rama\u2019s return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, and is also celebrated by Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists with their own spiritual interpretations. Beyond its religious essence, Diwali has become a celebration of togetherness, prosperity, and renewal \u2014 a time when families clean and adorn their homes, businesses start new financial years, and people pray for wealth and well-being.<\/p>\n
