Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the most celebrated festivals in India. It is a five-day festival that marks the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. There are also elaborate firework displays, where people gather to watch and enjoy the vibrant displays of lights in the sky. People also clean their houses thoroughly and wear new clothes to symbolize a fresh start for the new year, according to the festival's most popular cultural festival, which falls between October and November. There has been some concern about pollution caused by fireworks, but it continues to be a cherished tradition for many people.
