Gift ideas for Diwali
Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains. Its date follows the lunar calendar, so it falls in October or November.
Visiting family and friends with sweets is at the heart of it, so a box of mithai or dried fruit is always welcome. Homes are cleaned, lit and decorated for the festival, which makes candles, lamps and anything for the home a natural choice.
Gold and new clothes are traditional for close family. If you are a guest, ask what the family usually does, and bring something everyone can share.

Diwali in the next three years
It follows a lunar or lunisolar calendar, so each year's date is confirmed nearer the time. A date marked expected is the best estimate until then.
