SUMMARY:Diwali
DESCRIPTION:This calendar listing is intended to provide information about
  the named cultural/religious observation and is not intended as an actua
 l campus event. If a campus event is associated with this observance\, it
  will be listed separately on the master calendar.\n\n\nThis is one of th
 e most important festivals of the year for Hindus. It lasts for five days
  and combines a number of festivals to celebrate different gods and godde
 sses and events in their lives as described in Hindu tradition. The day b
 efore Diwali is spent cleaning the house\, shopping\, and decorating with
  flowers. A design is painted in white in front of the door of the house 
 to bring good luck. Lamps are lit for the entire five days beside roads a
 nd streams\, along edges of roofs\, and on window sills to enable Lakshmi
 \, the Hindu goddess of prosperity\, to find her way to every home.\n\n\n
 Recognizing the Festival/Holiday: Since Diwali is a "festival of lights\,
 " candles are an appropriate gift. In addition\, sweets\, dried fruits\, 
 cakes\, or cookies called diyas made in the shape of the oil lamps used t
 o decorate the walkways of one's house might be given. Keep in mind that 
 Hindus neither eat meat nor drink alcoholic beverages. Appropriate greeti
 ngs for all Hindu holidays include "God bless you with prosperity and hap
 piness" or "I wish you happiness and prosperity."
