📝 About Diwali 2027
Diwali (or Deepavali, meaning 'row of lights') is a five-day festival celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists, though each tradition attaches different historical significance. For most Hindus, Diwali celebrates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and his victory over the demon king Ravana. Homes are illuminated with millions of oil lamps (diyas) and colorful rangoli patterns adorn doorsteps to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Fireworks light up the sky across India and diaspora communities worldwide, and families exchange sweets, dry fruits, and gifts. Diwali is also the start of the Hindu financial new year, and with an estimated one billion people celebrating, it has been recognized at the UK Parliament, the White House, and the United Nations.
