One of the most important holidays in India is Deepavali, often known as Diwali. With much fanfare and enthusiasm, it is observed throughout the whole country. Diwali, also referred to as the "Festival of Lights," is a five-day event during which friends and families gather, light "Diyas" or earthen lamps in their homes, indulge in sweet treats, exchange gifts, play games, and set off fireworks.
