Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights is the most popular of all the festivals from South Asia and in Britain, as in India, it is a time for spring-cleaning the home, for wearing new clothes and decorating buildings with lights. The date of Diwali is set by the Hindu calendar so it varies in the Western calendar. It usually falls in October or November. Its fourth day corresponds to the Hindu New Year.
