Diwali, also known as the Hindu festival of lights, is a five-day event that people around the world celebrate with gatherings, lights, fireworks and feasts. Diwali is derived from the word "Deepavali," meaning "a row of lights." The dates of the festival are based on the Hindu lunar calendar, typically falling in late October or early November. The festival is also observed by Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists.
