Happy

Diwali

FROM WEDNESDAY
divālī, divaalee

The word Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word 'Dipavali,' which means row of lights. Around the world, Diwali is best known as a festival of lights.

Diwali is observed by over a billion people.

Diwali is so widely celebrated—it’s an important religious festival for Hindus, but it is also observed among Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists—that it has no single origin story. But while each religion has its historical narrative behind the holiday, they all ultimately represent the victory of good over evil.

Unique yet similar

Celebrated in various ways across the globe, every Diwali has some common themes.

Diwali brings communities together. It unites us all in the spirit of sharing not only gifts but also love and joy.

Diwali is about igniting the divine light within us and letting it radiate outward.

Our diversely unified team at Wednesday wishes you and your family the best wishes on this auspicious occasion.
