How do you welcome a god home after war and exile? Diwali, known as the "Festival of Lights", represents the victory of light over darkness. The magical sight of cities lit up with fireworks and paper lanterns is even more stunning up close. Candles are lit everywhere and lanterns are lit in the sky.

Of course, you can expect even more exotic displays! From exchanging gifts, flower necklaces for every human and animal, loud firework displays and more, this festival crosses the borders of India to every country where Hinduism is present.
