A Hindu religious festival known as Diwali, Dewali, Deepavali, or Divali is one of the most important. It generally lasts five days and occurs during Ashwayuja and Kartika, the Hindu lunisolar months.

This five-day holiday coincides with the New Moon in the Hindu month of Kartik. October or November is the date on the Gregorian calendar when this occurs. Despite the fact that the third day of Diwali is the height of the celebration, many families observe all five days of the festival.

In some cultures, Diwali commemorates the marriage of Lakshmi and Vishnu, while in others it marks the birthday of Lakshmi. Worldwide, millions of people celebrate Diwali, a multi-day festival that marks the Hindu New Year, but many still harbor misconceptions about it.
