ʻO Diwali ka ʻahaʻaina kukui Hindu me kona mau ʻano like ʻole i hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ma nā hoʻomana ʻē aʻe o India. Hōʻailona ia i ka "lanakila o ka mālamalama ma luna o ka pouli, ka maikaʻi ma luna o ka hewa, a me ka ʻike ma luna o ka naʻaupō". Hoʻolauleʻa ʻia ʻo Diwali i nā mahina lunisolar Hindu o Ashvin (e like me ke kuʻuna amanta) a me Kartika—ma waena o waena o Kepakemapa a me waena o Nowemapa. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā ʻahaʻaina he ʻelima a ʻeono paha lā.

ʻO ka hapa nui he ʻahaʻaina Hindu, hoʻolauleʻa ʻia nā ʻano like ʻole o Diwali e ka poʻe pili o nā manaʻoʻiʻo ʻē aʻe. Mālama ka poʻe Jain i kā lākou Diwali ponoʻī e hōʻailona ana i ke kūʻokoʻa hope loa o Mahavira. Hoʻolauleʻa ka poʻe Sikh i nā Bandi Chhor Divas e hōʻailona i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Guru Hargobind mai kahi hale paʻahao Mughal. ʻO ka poʻe Buddhist Newar, ʻaʻole like me nā Buddhist ʻē aʻe, hoʻolauleʻa iā Diwali ma ka hoʻomana ʻana iā Lakshmi, ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe Hindu o India Hikina a me Bangladesh e hoʻolauleʻa pinepine iā Diwali ma ka hoʻomana ʻana i ke akua wahine ʻo Kali.

I ka wā o ka ʻahaʻaina, hoʻomālamalama nā mea hoʻolauleʻa i ko lākou mau home, nā luakini a me nā wahi hana me nā diyas (nā kukui ʻaila), nā ipukukui a me nā kukui. Loaʻa i nā Hindus, ma ke ʻano kūikawā, kahi ʻauʻau ʻaila kuʻuna i ka wanaʻao i kēlā me kēia lā o ka ʻahaʻaina. Hōʻailona ʻia ʻo Diwali me nā mea puhi ahi a me ka hoʻonaninani ʻana i nā papahele me nā hoʻolālā rangoli, a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe o ka hale me nā jhalars. ʻO ka meaʻai kahi mea nui me nā ʻohana e komo ana i nā ʻahaʻaina a me ka kaʻana like ʻana i ka mithai. ʻO ka ʻahaʻaina kahi manawa hoʻi makahiki a me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana ʻaʻole wale no nā ʻohana, akā no nā kaiāulu a me nā hui pū kekahi, ʻoiai ka poʻe ma nā wahi kūlanakauhale, nāna e hoʻonohonoho i nā hana, nā hanana a me nā ʻahaʻaina.
