Part 7: Diwali
The annual monsoons that refresh the fields are felt to be the gift of the gods; 90% of India's festivals are at harvest time. Diwali is the 5-day "festival of lights," occurring in October and November. Based on the lunar cycle, Diwali lights up moonless nights with fireworks to symbolize the triumph of good over evil.
