Deepavali or Diwali celebrates light over darkness, good over evil, and wisdom over ignorance.
Many tales are associated with the Festival of Lights, which is celebrated between mid-October and mid-November in myriad ways by Hindus and Jains in South Asia and among the Indian diaspora.
But what unites celebrants is the essence of the occasion - the shared signs, symbols and icons that signify illumination in the hearts of believers the world over.
