(MENAFN- Live Mint) Diwali, one of the major Hindu religious festivals celebrated in India, falls on the 15th day of the month of Kartik, the darkest night of the year.
The festival symbolises the victory of good over evil or the victory of light over darkness. The festivities last five days, from the 13th day of the dark half of the lunar month Ashvina to the second day of the light half of the lunar month Karttika.
On Diwali day, people decorate their homes with traditional diyas (small earthenware lamps filled with oil), rangoli, and twinkling lights.
