#Diwali is a New Year celebration for #Hindus, #Jains, #Sikhs, and some #Muslims and #Buddhists. This #Year, the five-day holiday falls in November (starting on Thursday, November 4, 2021). The festival of lights, popular in South Asian countries and with those of South Asian descent, is marked by oil lamps called diyas, to honor the goddess of wealth and prosperity Lakshmi and to symbolize the triumph of light over darkness.
