or Dipawali !

Otherwise known as The Festival of Lights

Thanks to Ajay for the heads up on the start of the most important festival in the Indian calendar.

A wonderful celebration that now has huge significance for all religions across the whole country. Thanks are given for the harvest, and lights are lit. And many sweets are eaten !
