This magnificent five-day event is steeped in ritual and tradition for members of the Hindu faith, but is also celebrated by Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the day plays out differently for all religions, for example in Sikhism, Diwali falls on the same day as Bandi Chhor Divas so this is a day of double celebration, lighting a candle at their place of worship, Gurdwara. Only Buddhists of the Newar people of Nepal celebrate Diwali by offering prayers to Lakshmi &#8211; the goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s a National Holiday in countries like India, Sri Lanka and Malaysia, celebrations are held all over the world. Origin stories and historical events vary depending on region and beliefs, but ultimately Diwali marks a symbolic victory of light over darkness.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>When is Diwali in 2024?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking its lead from the Hindu lunar calendar, Diwali starts on a different date each year between October and November, in the lead-up to the new moon. Each of the five days in Diwali have their own significance and rituals, but the third day \u2013 Lakshmi Puja \u2013 features the main celebrations. For 2024, this takes place on Thursday 31st October &#8211; Friday November 1st.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13514\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Diwali-Celebration.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"465\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lakshmi Puja is a day for visiting temples, lighting little oil lamps made from clay or mud with a cotton wick dipped in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/how-to\/how-to-make-ghee\/\">ghee<\/a> called diyas and colourful candles, sparklers and even fireworks. Homes, temples, shops and community centres are decorated with lights, while floors are adorned with \u2018rangoli\u2019 \u2013 elaborate patterns made with flower petals and coloured rice or powder &#8211; symbolising joy, prosperity and good luck. Families get together, exchange gifts and feast.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Preparing and sharing food<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like other major festivals, food is a big part of Diwali. Preparation for celebrations often begins around a month before. For some families, this is an opportunity to get together and socialise, creating incredible snacks and traditional sweets, with elder relatives sharing techniques with the younger generations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Something sweet<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13508 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Diwali-Sweets.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"551\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mithai, or Indian sweets, are often made using flour, lentils or vegetable<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s like carrot or pumpkin as a base, cooked down with sugar and condensed milk or yoghurt. Nuts such as pistachios, cashews or almonds feature. Flavours like cardamon, saffron or rose water might be used too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular types of Mithai include little fried dough balls with syrup known as \u2018Gulab Jamun\u2019, indulgent and flavoursome fudge called Barfi and Laddu made from milk, flour and sugar. Sweet treats act as offerings to deities, exchanged as gifts for friends and families, or as delicious accompaniments to general feasting with a cup of Masala chai.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Savoury snacks are popular too. Variations on Chivda, a type of Bombay mix, are made from peanuts, chickpeas, onions and lentils. While Mathias, crispy discs made from lentil flour are fried in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">clarified butter ghee<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[1]<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The combination of sweet, salt and heat from the chilli of Mathias is utterly irresistible for many.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Traditional Diwali dishes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each of Diwali\u2019s five days are acknowledged by eating specific foods and these vary depending on region and beliefs. One dish eaten at the start of the festival is Lapsi Halwa. A sweet dessert featuring Dalia, a type of cracked wheat, it\u2019s blended with unrefined sugarcane jaggery and ghee. Kheer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is also popular during the celebrations. This comforting, slow-cooked rice pudding features flavours of cardamom, pistachios, cashews and almonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/recipes\/occasions\/diwali\/\">View our Diwali inspired recipes\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>A fresh start\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Hindu faith, the fourth day of Diwali signifies the start of the new year. Known as Govardhan Puja or Gudi Padwa, the food served might include crispy savoury snacks Puris, homemade cheese known as paneer and a wide array of vegetable curries. The feast is said to represent a year of culinary riches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you\u2019re choosing to celebrate Diwali this year, we hope the festival is filled with light, colour and incredible food shared with loved ones.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container container--small u-text-center\"><hr class=\"hr hr--green\"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-recipes container container--no-pad-mobile\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container container--small\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"content-recipes__title u-text-center h4\">Diwali Inspired Recipes<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-recipes__slider u-text-center slider slider--stretched slider--nav-bottom-wide slider--nav-navy slider--offset-mobile\">\n\t\t\t<div data-behaviour=\"related-slider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a class=\"box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/recipes\/jewelled-pulao\/\" aria-labelledby=\"card-subtitle-20447 card-title-20447 card-excerpt-20447\">\n    <div class=\"box__image\">\n\t\t                    \t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Jewelled-Pulao-image.png\"  alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"box__overlay \"><span class=\"box__view\">\n                            View recipe\n                    <\/span><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"box__content\">\n                    <p class=\"box__subtitle h6\" id=\"card-subtitle-20447\">Grand Extra Long Sella Basmati Rice<\/p>\n                <p class=\"box__title h5\" id=\"card-title-20447\">Jewelled Pulao with Grand Extra Long Sella Rice<\/p>\n                            <p class=\"box__excerpt\" id=\"card-excerpt-20447\">Enjoy Monisha Bharadwaj\u2019s Jewelled Pulao recipe, featuring Tilda Grand Extra Long Sella Basmati, aromatic spices, and vibrant vegetables.<\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<a class=\"box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/recipes\/rice-kheer-with-jasmine-rice\/\" aria-labelledby=\"card-subtitle-20460 card-title-20460 card-excerpt-20460\">\n    <div class=\"box__image\">\n\t\t                    \t<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"450\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Paneer-Curry-with-Rice-image.png\"  alt=\"\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"box__overlay \"><span class=\"box__view\">\n                            View recipe\n                    <\/span><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"box__content\">\n                    <p class=\"box__subtitle h6\" id=\"card-subtitle-20460\">Fragrant Jasmine Rice 5kg<\/p>\n                <p class=\"box__title h5\" id=\"card-title-20460\">Rice Kheer with Jasmine Rice<\/p>\n                            <p class=\"box__excerpt\" id=\"card-excerpt-20460\">Indulge in this easy-to-make Rice Kheer using Tilda Jasmine Rice, full-fat milk, and cardamom, topped with dried roses and pistachios.
