Diwali is celebrated by millions around the world, with festivities lasting up to five days, filled with family gatherings, delicious feasts, and vibrant traditions. 📅 Did you know? Diwali’s date changes each year as it follows the Hindu lunar calendar, aligning with the new moon (Amavasya) of the Kartika month, usually between mid-October and mid-November.
