Diwali (Deepavali), also known as the Indian Festival of Lights, is a Hindu festival celebrated by Indians all across the world. As a universally celebrated holiday, Diwali gets a good amount of attention during this time of the year. Although Indian communities exist in countries all over the world, some places have larger and more festive celebrations for the public to join in than others. Dubai, being a kaleidoscope of cultures, religions and traditions, is one of the best places to celebrate Diwali. This year, Diwali will be celebrated from 19th October and will last throughout the weekend, bringing three days of fun, folk activities and festivities to Dubai.
