80 Diwali Greetings and Wishes to Bring Light to Your Loved Ones
Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights or Deepavali, is celebrated in homes and communities in India and around the world by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists, Sindhis, and others who just enjoy the spirit of the honored tradition. It takes place in the Hindu month of Kartik, which tends to fall around October or November. This year, the biggest day of Diwali falls on November 12, 2023, but the holiday itself is celebrated for five days starting on November 9. Those who celebrate the holiday will light lamps called diyas, enjoy traditional Diwali sweets, and exchange happy Diwali wishes and greetings with loved ones.
Diwali symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, and it also marks a time for starting anew. It's common to give Diwali gifts to family and friends, share positive messages through Diwali captions, and send holiday well wishes. Similar to lucky New Year’s colors, people celebrate the festival by bringing vibrant hues into their homes — decorating with intricate patterns called rangoli that are made from materials such as colored powder, rice flour, and flower petals. In addition to putting up Diwali decorations, people will also give themselves a fresh start by cleaning their homes and hosting get-togethers. To convey blessings, good intentions, and love, here are 80 ideas for what to say during Diwali to those who celebrate.
