Frequently asked questions

How many days is Diwali and what do they mean?
Diwali is celebrated over five days, with the main day — the festival of lights itself, often marked with Lakshmi Puja — at the centre. The surrounding days each carry their own significance in various traditions: the first (Dhanteras) is associated with prosperity and is a time to clean the home and buy something new; the days that follow include the main Diwali night of lamps, then a day linked to the new year, and finally Bhai Dooj celebrating the bond between siblings. The exact names, customs and emphasis vary widely between regions, communities and families, so a countdown is a lovely way to mark whichever days and traditions are meaningful to you, one diya at a time.
