This five-day event marks the celebration of the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. The name Diwali originates from the Sanskrit dipavali, meaning \u2018row of lights\u2019, referring to the decorative clay lights adorning homes during this period.<br \/>\nCelebrations include prayers, feasts, family gatherings, and fireworks that welcome the beginning of a new year. In 2024, Diwali falls on November 1st.<br \/>\nJust like Holi, the festival of colours, Lanzarote also embraces Diwali. It will be held at the M\u00e1cher Teleclub on Sunday, November 3rd, from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm. This event is being organized by the Hindu Community of Lanzarote (HCL).<br \/>\nDiwali is also a festival open to the whole island. The mayor of T\u00edas and local officials are always invited and are regular participants. The Hindu Community of Lanzarote (HCL) promises Indian cuisine, lively Bollywood performances by local dancers Lanzaboyzz and Lanzagirlzz and music courtesy of guest DJs from the UK and Tenerife.<br \/>\nThis year, the HCL plans to share 120 kilos of mithai, a traditional Indian sweet, among those attending and the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than a billion people celebrate Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights worldwide.
