Diwali is the most important festival of the year in India, a time to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and good over evil. Celebrated by more than a billion people of various faiths across India and its diaspora, the five days of Diwali are characterised by prayers, feasting, fireworks, family gatherings and donations. For some, Diwali also marks the beginning of a new year.
But Diwali is better known as the festival of lights. It derives from the Sanskrit dipavali, meaning 'string of lights', and is famous for the glowing clay lamps that are placed in front of the houses of those celebrating the festival.
The dates of the festival are based on the Hindu lunar calendar, which marks each month according to the time it takes for the moon to orbit the earth. Diwali begins just before the arrival of a new moon between the Hindu months of asvina and kartika, which normally coincide with the Gregorian calendar months of October or November. In 2022, Diwali began on 24 October and ends on 28 October.
Anisha, our language assisstant, is from India and she prepared some activities and worskhops to show us the importance of this festival.

El Diwali es el festival más importante del año en la India, un periodo para celebrar el triunfo de la luz sobre la oscuridad, del saber sobre la ignorancia y del bien sobre el mal. Los cinco días del Diwali, celebrado por más de mil millones de personas de diversos credos en toda la India y en su diáspora, se caracterizan por los rezos, los banquetes, los fuegos artificiales, las reuniones familiares y los donativos. Para algunos, el Diwali también marca el comienzo de un nuevo año.
Pero el Diwali es más conocido como el festival de las luces. Deriva del sánscrito dipavali, que significa «hilera de luces», y es famoso por las relucientes lámparas de arcilla que se colocan frente a las casas de quienes celebran esta fiesta.
Las fechas de este festival se basan en el calendario lunar hindú, que marca cada mes según el tiempo que tarda la Luna en orbitar alrededor de la Tierra. El Diwali comienza justo antes de la llegada de una luna nueva entre los meses hindúes de asvina y kartika, que normalmente coinciden con los meses de octubre o noviembre del calendario gregoriano. En 2022, el Diwali empezó el 24 de octubre y acaba el 28 de octubre.
Anisha, nuestra auxiliar de conversación, es de la India y preparó algunas actividades y talleres para mostrarnos la importancia de este festival.

Treasure hunt
After measuring the school, we drew and digitised the plan of the school.
Once the plan was ready, we went out into the playground and held an orienteering gymkhana.
The pupils were divided into groups to hide clues and mark them on the map. Then they exchanged maps and the search began.
We had a great time!
Búsqueda del tesoro
Tras medir el instituto,hemos dibujado y digitalizado el plano del centro.
Una vez listo el plano hemos salido al patio y hemos realizado una gimkana de orientación.
Los alumnos divididos por grupos escondían pistas y las marcaban en el plano. Después intercambiaban planos y comenzaba la búsqueda.
¡Lo hemos pasado genial!
