When I was in the Uni, I had a friend who was from south Asia and through him I knew Diwali, which is also called the Festival of Lights, it is one of India's biggest and most beloved celebrations. Just so you know, it is a Hindu festival, but people from different backgrounds and religions join in the festivities, and it is celebrated in crypto with a trading competition. Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
I believe that in essence, Diwali is about welcoming a new beginning, honoring happiness, and spreading love and kindness among family, friends, and neighbors.
