Diwali (Deepavali) is the Hindu festival of lights, held between October to November each year. On this day, millions of people around the world light many small clay lamps in their homes to invite good luck and prosperity from the Goddess Lakshmi and the God Ganesh, who represent wisdom, wealth and luck. This is also the start of the financial year and the end of the harvest season in India.
