Diwali

Sidewalk Art with candles
Diwali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Deepavali[note 1], popularly known as the "festival of lights"
From what I gather it is like Christmas in the US.  Everyone waits until now to buy, buy, buy--new cars, new furniture, new clothes, paint the house--all in the name of the Goddess of Wealth.  Fireworks at night, candle lighting everywhere, decorated streets, lights on the buildings, firecrackers--another big Indian party.
