Diwali, or the Festival of Lights, marks the victory of light over darkness. Primarily celebrated in India, it involves lighting oil lamps, decorating homes, and sharing sweets. Countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka also participate, while places with large Indian communities, like the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., host events filled with music, dance, and food. As people around the world come together for Diwali, they embrace themes of hope and unity, making it a global festival. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
