    \n    \n\u201cAvali\u201d<\/b><\/a> means a \n\nrow.<\/b><\/a>\n

    \nThus, \n    \nDeepavali<\/b><\/a> means\n\n \u201ca row of lights.\u201d<\/b><\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\nDiwali, or Deepavali,<\/b><\/a> is one of the most sacred and joyful Hindu festivals, symbolizing the \n\nvictory of light over darkness, truth over falsehood, and good over evil.<\/b><\/a>\n
