Known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is an Indian holiday that traditionally takes place in late October or early November. The five-day festival originated in India; the religious holiday is celebrated all over the world. If you’re in Denver, Colorado, during the festival, visit Little India of Denver to sample a variety of delicious foods that are associated with the holiday.
Unlike many religious holidays that involve fasting, Diwali is a time to celebrate abundant blessings and is typically characterized by shopping, eating, and spending time with loved ones. People who celebrate Diwali light lamps both inside and outside their homes mark the occasion as a representation of light triumphing over darkness.
