Diwali, also called Deepavali, is celebrated across India and by Indian communities around the world. The festival usually falls in October or November and symbolises the victory of light over darkness.

Lamps and rangoli

Before the festival, families clean and decorate their homes. Small clay lamps called diyas are placed on doorsteps, windows and balconies, and colourful rangoli patterns made from powder, rice or flowers welcome guests at the entrance.
