Diwali (auch Divali) oder Dipavali (auch Deepavali), das Lichterfest, ist ein bedeutendes mehrtägiges hinduistisches Fest in Indien, Sri Lanka und Nepal und in anderen vom Hinduismus geprägten Ländern, zum Beispiel in Mauritius, Suriname, Fidschi, Trinidad und Tobago, Singapur sowie in Südafrika und der indischen Diaspora. Das Fest kann auf Grund seiner religiösen sowie sozialen Bedeutung und seines fröhlichen Charakters mit Weihnachten verglichen werden, und die Nacht mit Silvester. In Nordindien ist Diwali gleichzeitig der Neujahrstag.
