Indian Culture is one of the most bright and festive cultures in the world. Hinduism is the most popular religion in India. There are many gods and goddesses that are important to Indian people and there are many ceremonies and celebrations through out the year.
Here are some of the most famous festivals:
Diwali
The festival of lights – Diwali or Deepavali – is the most popular festival on the Indian subcontinent. The underlying idea of Diwali is about light winning over darkness, or the triumph of goodness over evil. Diyas (lamps) can be found in every residence burning brightly in the evenings, and there are also fireworks and a delicious traditional banquet.
