Diwali versus Holi: Dates and customs
Diwali, known as the festival of lights, is a major holiday celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs, involving lighting clay lamps to symbolize protection against spiritual darkness. In 2026, it will be observed starting on November 8, spanning five days with various customs such as lighting lamps, decorating homes, and performing religious rituals to honor the goddess Lakshmi. The festival's date varies annually based on the lunar calendar and is distinct from Holi, which is celebrated closer to spring and involves throwing colored powders.
