Celebrated on the eve of the new moon during the Hindi month of “Kartik”, Diwali marks the victory of good over evil and the conquering of darkness by the light.

People all over the country celebrate the festival with colourful lights, oil-lamps, fire-crackers, gifts and sweets. 

The Elephant God Ganesha and Goddess Laxmi who, according to Indian mythology are respectively responsible for tackling difficulties and bestowing wealth are customarily worshipped on Diwali in India.
