Diwali Festival Preparation In Kolkata, India - 30 Oct 2024
A laborer carries garlands of marigold flowers to supply at a wholesale flower market, which are used to decorate temples and homes, ahead of the Diwali festival in Kolkata, India, on October 30, 2024. Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word deepavali, meaning ''row of lights.'' It marks the triumph of light over darkness, of good over evil. More than a billion Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists around the world celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights. Diwali, also called Deepavali, is one of the biggest festivals in India. It is also widely celebrated in Nepal, Malaysia, Fiji, and other countries with large South Asian diasporas. Homes, businesses, and public spaces are lit up with diyas, or oil lamps made from clay, and fireworks displays abound. People gather with their families, eat sweets, and exchange gifts.
