What is Diwali? - India's Festival of Lights
Diwali is this week. Many of you may wonder, what is Diwali?
Diwali is India’s Festival of Lights where we celebrate victories of good over evil, light shining over darkness, knowledge over ignorance....a new beginning for us all.
The details and activities were shared in my daughters' public and private schools when I taught the class children.
Some quick facts about Diwali:
- Diwali is a total of 5 days- and the big day is Saturday Nov 14th (reflected in Day 3).
- Every year the specific date changes (e.g. like Easter OR Hanukkah) based on the lunar calendar- but always falls in October or November.
- The cultural significance of Diwali is celebrated around the world! It is a Hindu holiday that celebrates the victory of Lord Ram when he defeated an evil demon king Ravan. That victory of good over evil restored goodness in the world.
- Diwali is celebrated differently all over India and each day is meaningful.
- Diwali is also celebrated...

Founder of Travel Plus Them
As a mother of two toddler daughters, I want to teach and show them the beauty of the world and all its people. We frequently traveled around the US to visit our families. In my eyes, if I can easily manage a 3 hour plane journey, how hard is a 24 hour plane journey? Well, I learned that while there are differences, I can do it. As a family, we have now traveled to 30 countries across 6 continents (7th and last hopefully coming soon). The most important role I play is raising global citizens - supporting my children to be confident in who they are, excited to learn about others, and respect all the people around them.
