Diwali 2024

Originating in India, Diwali is one of the country's most important religious holidays of the year, marking the start of the Hindu New Year. The name of the festival, also known as the Festival of Lights, comes from the small clay lamps that are used to decorate homes during celebrations. 

For many people, Diwali honours the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. It is believed that the use of lights and lamps will help Lakshmi find her way into peoples' homes and bring them wealth and prosperity for the year ahead. 

Diwali is a time where family and friends come together to enjoy delicious food, exchange gifts and celebrate. It is a holiday celebrated by billions of people across the world.
