Diwali 2023: The biggest Hindu festival, Diwali, is fast approaching and we are buzzing with excitement. This is the time of year when bright lights illuminate the lanes and streets, colourful rangolis adorn the houses and people dress up in stunning ethnic outfits. Also known as Deepawali, it falls on the fifteenth day of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik, which is also the darkest night of the year. This year, on Sunday, November 12, India will celebrate the festival of lights with much fanfare and enthusiasm. Diwali commemorates the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. It is believed that Lord Ram, Mata Sita and his brother Lakshman returned to Ayodhya on this day after their 14-year vanvas (exile) and victory over Ravana, the ruler of Lanka.
