During the festival, these lamps, called diyas, are used every- where. They symbolise the victory of light over darkness, or good over evil. Diwali is celebrated differently in dif- ferent regions and by different reli- gions and is a bank holiday in many countries, including India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar, Singapore, Malay- sia, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago. It is often considered a Hindu festival, but in fact it is also celebrated by Sikhs, Jains and Newari Buddhists. Here are some of the things that happen during the five days of Diwali.
