Diwali 2021

Diwali 2021 (Deepavali 2021) is on Thursday, November 4 in India.

Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is the most important national festival of the year in India, celebrating the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. It tops all other festivals with its long-lasting and multi-faith celebrations in India.

The importance of Diwali for Indians is like Christmas’s for Westerners. Many Indian companies take Diwali as the beginning of a new financial year. Each year over 1 billion people — Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists, on the Indian mainland and oversees communities alike — celebrate these spiritual and joyous days.

Bandi Chhor Divas also celebrates the victory of light over darkness and is a time to remember the importance of freedom in our daily lives.

On the day of Diwali, families get together to exchange gifts and have a large meal. Many people wear their nicest clothes on this day and say "Happy Diwali" to each other. 

Diwali is even more special this year — both socially and spiritually. As the shadow cast by the coronavirus is still here, celebrating this festival is more palpable for people who are eager to get rid of the past darkness and bad luck and welcome a new life full of light and wealth.

Wishing you and your family a very happy and safe Diwali!

In Hindi: आपको और आपके परिवार को दीपावली की बहुत बहुत बधाई और शुभकामनाएं!
