Diwali - Festival of Lights
Diwali (Festival of Lights) involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. The name "Diwali" is a contraction of "Deepavali", which translates into "row of lamps". These lamps are kept on during the night in order to make the goddess Lakshmi feel welcome.
