When is Diwali normally celebrated?
Correct Answer: October or November
Diwali is the Festival of Lights, celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists.
It typically falls in October or November, on the new moon night of the Hindu month of Kartik.
The festival symbolises the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. In the UK, Diwali is celebrated with fireworks, lights, and community events — particularly in areas with large South Asian communities such as Leicester, Birmingham, and London.
