Today is Christmas in India
Actually, it translates to the Festival of Light. These are the high holy days of Hinduism.
Diwali is also known as festival of lights.
The festival marks the victory of good over evil. The Sanskrit word Deepavali means array of lights that stands for victory of brightness over darkness. As the knowledge of Sanskrit diminished, the name was popularly modified to Diwali, especially in northern India.
