Diwali (Deepavali, IAST: Dīpāvalī) is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions.

It symbolises the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance".

Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartikabetween around mid-September and mid-November.

The celebrations generally last five or six days.

A wedding is a ceremony where two people are united in marriage.

Wedding traditions and customs vary greatly between cultures, ethnic groups, races, religions, denominations, countries, social classes, and sexual orientations.

Most wedding ceremonies involve an exchange of marriage vows by a couple, presentation of a gift (offering, rings, symbolic item, flowers, money, dress), and a public proclamation of marriage by an authority figure or celebrant.

Special wedding garments are often worn, and the ceremony is sometimes followed by a wedding reception.

Music, poetry, prayers, or readings from religious texts or literature are also commonly incorporated into the ceremony, as well as superstitious customs.

A festival is an extraordinary event celebrated by a community and centering on some characteristic aspect or aspects of that community and its religion or cultures.

It is often marked as a local or national holiday, mela, or eid.

A festival constitutes typical cases of glocalization, as well as the high culture-low culture interrelationship.

Next to religion and folklore, a significant origin is agricultural.

Food is such a vital resource that many festivals are associated with harvest time.

Religious commemoration and thanksgiving for good harvests are blended in events that take place in autumn, such as Halloween in the northern hemisphere and Easter in the southern.

A handicraft, sometimes more precisely expressed as artisanal handicraft or handmade, is any of a wide variety of types of work where useful and decorative objects are made completely by one's hand or by using only simple, non-automated related tools like scissors, carving implements, or hooks.

It is a traditional main sector of craft making and applies to a wide range of creative and design activities that are related to making things with one's hands and skill, including work with textiles, moldable and rigid materials, paper, plant fibers, clay, etc.

One of the oldest handicraft is Dhokra; this is a sort of metal casting that has been used in India for over 4,000 years and is still used.

In Iranian Baluchistan, women still make red ware hand-made pottery with dotted ornaments, much similar to the 5,000-year-old pottery tradition of Kalpurgan, an archaeological site near the village.

Usually, the term is applied to traditional techniques of creating items (whether for personal use or as products) that are both practical and aesthetic.

Handicraft industries are those that produce things with hands to meet the needs of the people in their locality without using machines.

A tradition is a system of beliefs or behaviors (folk custom) passed down within a group of people or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past.

A component of cultural expressions and folklore, common examples include holidays or impractical but socially meaningful clothes (like lawyers' wigs or military officers' spurs), but the idea has also been applied to social norms and behaviors such as greetings etc.

Traditions can persist and evolve for thousands of years— the word tradition itself derives from the Latin word tradere literally meaning to transmit, to hand over, to give for safekeeping.

While it is reportedly assumed that traditions have an ancient history, many traditions have been invented on purpose, whether it be political or cultural, over short periods of time.

Various academic disciplines also use the word in a variety of ways.
