We Know You're Wondering: What is Diwali?
On the night of Diwali—a word derived from the Sanskrit for “light”—Hindu families clean up their houses, wear new clothes, and light diyas (little oil lamps) made of clay, brass, or silver.

Diwali Is Known as the Indian Festival of Lights.
These lamps are used to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, who visits and blesses the homes. Diwali is also a celebration of the triumph of good over evil, when the God Ram returned with his family to his kingdom after defeating the demon Ravan, who had abducted Ram’s wife Sita.

And There's no such thing as a Hindu holiday without a MOUTH-WATERING Indian feast.
There are several delicious vegetarian foods served during Diwali, all of which are rich in flavor and taste.
